    The NOAA Grants Management Division’s Budget Narrative Guidance outlines requirements for applicants submitting budget narratives for federal awards. It insists on detailed explanations for both federal and non-federal expenditures categorized as per SF-424A for non-construction and SF-424C for construction. Every cost must be reasonable, allowable, and necessary, ensuring alignment with 2 CFR §200 regulations. The guidance details expectations for personnel costs, including name, salary, and justification aligned with program objectives. It also specifies expectations for fringe benefits, travel (both domestic and foreign), equipment use, supplies, and contractual costs, advocating for clarity and justification in each category. Furthermore, the guidance emphasizes providing a comprehensive total for direct charges and calculating indirect costs according to negotiated agreements. Lastly, if required, the document stresses the importance of detailing cost-sharing or matching funds with appropriate documentation. This comprehensive framework serves to facilitate federal funding allocation by ensuring transparency and accountability in budgeting for grant proposals.
