    The NOAA Grants Management Division's Budget Narrative Guidance outlines the requirements for applicants seeking federal grants, emphasizing the necessity of a detailed budget narrative that justifies both federal and non-federal expenditures. The document specifies the need for clarity in expense categories as detailed in the SF-424A for non-construction awards and SF-424C for construction awards, ensuring that all budget figures align across forms and narratives. Key sections include: personnel costs, which must detail names, salaries, and contributions to the project; fringe benefits computed based on salaries; and justifications for travel, equipment, supplies, and contractual expenses. Each budget category must be documented with clear descriptions relating to project objectives and must comply with federal regulations. Additional categories cover indirect costs and any required cost-sharing, both needing precise articulation to ensure proper compliance and accountability. The guidance emphasizes the importance of transparency in budget submissions, as incorrect or vague information could lead to funding delays or reductions. Overall, the document serves as a comprehensive framework for applicants to prepare thorough and compliant funding proposals for NOAA-supported activities.
