Each application must align its financial documentation, including SF-424A and SF-424C forms, specifying federal and non-federal costs, while ensuring all calculations are transparent. Key areas include: 1. **Personnel**: Detailed descriptions of staff roles, salaries, and contributions to the project, with a stipulation that total personnel costs should not exceed 100% of time allocated. 2. **Fringe Benefits**: Justification for the fringe benefit rate used, detailing calculations and components of benefits. 3. **Travel**: Comprehensive justification for both domestic and foreign travel expenses, including origin and destination, number of trips, and related costs. 4. **Equipment and Supplies**: Justifications for costs above established thresholds, detailing itemized expenses and their relevance to program objectives. 5. **Contractual and Construction**: Separate budget submissions for contracts and clear documentation for any construction-related expenses, following specific federal guidelines. 6. **Indirect Costs**: Explanation of various indirect cost rates and the necessity for recent negotiated indirect cost rate agreements (NICRAs). Furthermore, the guidance emphasizes the importance of transparency, compliance with federal regulations, and the adequate documentation of any cost-sharing contributions. This guidance, updated last on May 24, 2017, serves as a crucial resource for applicants in navigating federal funding processes effectively.
