The provided document is a template for an Entire Proposal Budget, designed for federal government RFPs, federal grants, and state/local RFPs. It outlines various cost categories for a project, including Salary, Fringe, Travel, Supplies, Contracts, Other Direct Costs, and Direct/Indirect Costs. The template details how to calculate and allocate funds from both USGS and recipient matching sources for each expense. Key sections include personnel costs for a State Geologist, travel expenses for lodging, supply costs for thin sections, and contractual agreements with entities like the DC Geological Survey. It also covers drilling, sample analytics, and map digitization as other direct costs. The document specifies an indirect cost rate not exceeding 18% and provides an example of a total project cost. The template emphasizes the need for separate budget sheets for sub-awards. This document serves as a guide for preparing a comprehensive and itemized budget proposal for government-funded projects.

The provided document is a detailed budget template for a proposal, likely for a federal grant or state/local RFP, outlining various cost categories and their allocation between USGS funds and recipient matching funds. It covers personnel salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses (lodging, per diem, mileage), supplies (thin sections, field notebooks, maps, sample bags), contracts (including sub-awards), and other direct costs (drilling, sample analytics, map digitization). The template also includes sections for total direct costs, indirect costs (capped at 18%), and uncollected indirect costs, culminating in the total project cost. The example provided illustrates specific monetary allocations for each category, demonstrating how expenses should be itemized and shared between funding sources. The document emphasizes the need for separate budget sheets for any sub-awards.

This document outlines a comprehensive budget proposal for a government project, likely a federal grant or state/local RFP, detailing various cost categories. It includes sections for personnel salaries and fringe benefits, travel expenses (lodging, per diem, mileage), supplies (thin sections, field notebooks, maps, sample bags), and contracts, specifically listing a significant sub-award to the DC Geological Survey. Other direct costs cover activities such as drilling and sample analytics. The budget also accounts for both direct and indirect costs, with indirect costs capped at 18%. The total project cost is projected at $127,000, with funds meticulously allocated between USGS funds and recipient matching contributions, illustrating a detailed financial plan for project execution.
