    GMD_Budget_Narrative_Guidance.pdf
    The NOAA Grants Management Division's Budget Narrative Guidance outlines the necessary components for proposals seeking federal grants. It emphasizes the importance of a detailed budget narrative that justifies all expenses, whether federal or non-federal. The guidance specifies compliance with 2 CFR §200 requirements for reasonable, allowable, allocable, and necessary costs. Applicants must present detailed justifications for personnel costs, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contractual costs, and any construction activities. A clear structure is advised, with separate sections for each cost category, including calculations. For personnel, applicants are instructed to provide detailed salary information and time contributions to projects. Travel justifications must elucidate the purpose, costs, and adherence to the Fly America Act when applicable. Equipment requests require justifications related to specific program objectives. Furthermore, the document notes that indirect costs must be calculated using a negotiated indirect cost rate agreement (NICRA) or a de minimis rate when applicable. Finally, if cost-sharing or matching funds are required, they should be detailed with the same rigor as federal funds. This guidance is essential for ensuring that proposals meet federal standards for grant funding.
