    The NOAA Grants Management Division's Budget Narrative Guidance outlines requirements for submitting detailed budget narratives for federal and non-federal expenditures associated with non-construction and construction awards. Applicants must justify costs by object class as listed on the SF-424A or SF-424C, ensuring consistency across documents. The narrative must explain calculations for personnel, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contractual, construction, and other expenses, with required supporting details. Key aspects include providing justification for salaries, specifying percentages of time dedicated to the project, detailing travel plans, and including justifications for equipment use. All costs must be reasonable and necessary, adhering to federal guidelines. The document emphasizes the requirement to show matching funds and restricts federal funds from covering in-kind goods or services that benefit federal employees. The guidance provides a structured framework for budget preparation, ensuring transparency and compliance with federal regulations. Overall, it serves to help applicants develop clear, justified budgets that align with NOAA's funding objectives while following federal cost principles. This document was last updated on May 24, 2017, and is subject to change, highlighting the need for periodic review.
