    GMD_Budget_Narrative_Guidance.pdf
    The NOAA Grants Management Division's Budget Narrative Guidance provides detailed instructions for applicants submitting budget narratives for federal and non-federal expenditures related to NOAA grants. It emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive budget narrative that aligns with the SF-424A (non-construction) or SF-424C (construction) forms, detailing costs by object class, including personnel, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contractual, and other expenses. Particular attention must be given to justifying all expense calculations, ensuring costs are reasonable and necessary, and matching federal funds with any required cost-sharing or matching funds. Personnel costs need to specify roles, salaries, time contributed, and any anticipated hires. Travel expenses must be justified with detailed itineraries for domestic and foreign travel, adhering to regulations such as the Fly America Act. Equipment requests should relate directly to project objectives, with proper cost justifications. Additional guidance is provided for supplies, contractual agreements, and construction-related expenses. Indirect costs can be charged based on negotiated rates or the de minimis rate, and match contributions must align with federal standards. The document aims to ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance in budget submissions to enhance funding opportunities for NOAA-supported projects.
