    GMD_Budget_Narrative_Guidance.pdf
    The NOAA Grants Management Division’s Budget Narrative Guidance outlines requirements for applicants submitting proposals for federal grants. Each application must contain a detailed budget narrative justifying federal and non-federal expenditures according to categories defined in forms SF-424A (non-construction) or SF-424C (construction). The budget must include descriptions of personnel costs, fringe benefits, travel expenses, equipment, supplies, and contractual costs, ensuring all figures match across documents. Key points include the need for clarity in cost justifications, adherence to cost principles stated in 2 CFR §200, and thorough documentation for all expenses, especially for multi-year projects. Personnel budgets must specify salaries, time commitments, and justifications for each role. Costs associated with travel must detail origin, purpose, participants, and comply with regulations like the Fly America Act for foreign travel. Equipment and supply expenditures must be justified relative to project objectives, and indirect costs must adhere to negotiated rates. Cost-sharing documentation must provide detail synonymous with federal expenditure reporting. This guidance ensures transparency and accountability in grant management, improving the quality and rationale for funding requests.
