    GMD_Budget_Narrative_Guidance.pdf
    The NOAA Grants Management Division provides comprehensive budget narrative guidance for grant applications, emphasizing the need for detailed justifications for federal and non-federal expenditures. Applicants must align their budget narratives with the SF-424A and SF-424C forms and ensure all cost calculations are transparent and justified. The guidance outlines specific categories—personnel, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contractual, construction, and other costs—requiring detailed accounting and justification relating to project objectives. Personnel costs must specify salary details, job responsibilities, and time allocation, while fringe benefits should be broken down proportionately. Travel expenses require a detailed justification for domestic and foreign trips, including costs and compliance statements. Equipment and supply needs must relate to program objectives, and contracts/subawards necessitate separate budgets for determination of costliness and necessity. Indirect costs may follow predetermined, provisional, or fixed rates, with an emphasis on compliance with relevant federal guidelines. Furthermore, if matching or cost-sharing is required, it must be detailed similarly to federal funds. This document, last updated in May 2017, guides applicants in structuring their budgets effectively to meet NOAA's regulatory and funding requirements.
