    GMD_Budget_Narrative_Guidance.pdf
    The NOAA Grants Management Division's Budget Narrative Guidance provides essential instructions for applicants to detail and justify the Federal and non-Federal expenditures associated with grant proposals, particularly for both non-construction (SF-424A) and construction awards (SF-424C). Applicants must align their budget narrative with corresponding forms, elucidate calculations, and ensure expenses are reasonable, allowable, and necessary. The guidance emphasizes the importance of itemizing costs across various categories, including personnel, which requires detailed breakdowns of salaries, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, and contractual services. Explicit justifications related to program objectives must accompany each budget line. Considerations are also given for administrative and clerical costs, which are typically indirect unless specific criteria are met. Furthermore, proper documentation for equipment and costs exceeding specified thresholds is necessary, and any subawards or additional costs should be itemized. The guidance underlines the requirement for matching or cost-sharing contributions and provides thorough directives regarding indirect costs, including de minimis rates for entities lacking a negotiated indirect cost rate. This structured approach ensures transparency, accountability, and thorough evaluation of budget proposals submitted for NOAA grants.
