预算
Almost all funders request a budget for submission and the college requires one for all projects.
制定预算是开始计划一个项目的最好方法之一. 它可以提供一个框架来构建您的项目和提案. 预算s can include a wide range of expenses including material; salaries and/or stipends; travel expenses including airfare, hotel and food; publicity; and registration fees. If you are planning an event, you might need to include lunch or coffee costs. 如果你正在计划一场演出，可能需要考虑场地费用. 当你建立你的项目或研究预算, think as broadly as possible understanding that it may be possible for some costs to be absorbed by your department or the college.

特殊注意事项
Cost-sharing and matching refer to a financial commitment on the part of the college. Cost-sharing refers to the reallocation of already budgeted resources from the department or college to support part of the costs of a sponsored project. Funders usually indicate what kinds of contributions are eligible for cost-sharing. 费用分摊可以是强制性的，也可以是自愿的. Mandatory cost-sharing means that funds are required by the sponsor in order for the proposal to be eligible for funding. Recently, federal funders have been prohibiting cost-sharing as a way of leveling the playing field.
Matching occurs when the college agrees to allocate new funds beyond those provided by the funder to support a project. 匹配的比例通常由资助者设定. Any cost-sharing or matching funds must be outlined in the budget and approved via the 内部传送表格 之前提交.
Federal regulations (OMB Circular A-21) define cost principles for educational institutions. 设施 and administrative costs are defined as those “that are incurred for common or joint objectives and, 因此, cannot be identified readily and specifically with a particular sponsored project, 教学活动, 或任何其他机构活动.” 设施 covers college borne costs such as depreciation and use allowances, 某些债务的利息, 设备和资本改善, 运行维护费用, 图书馆费用. 行政包括一般行政和费用, 部门管理, 赞助项目管理, 学生管理及服务, 等.
F&大多数联邦拨款申请的税率每三年设定一次, in negotiation between the college’s 预算 Office and federal auditors from Region I of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The current rate in effect through June 30, 2024, is 67 percent of salaries and wages. For research projects that take place off-campus, the rate is 28 percent of salaries and wages.
It is the college’s policy to recover indirect costs as allowed by funding agency guidelines. Proposals 提交ted by members of the faculty should use the predetermined F&A/间接汇率，只要允许. If the funding agency will not permit the full rate to be charged, consult the 助学金办公室.
对于大多数研究提案, 教师可以申请最多两个月的暑期工资支持, 按学年基本工资的2/9计算. 支持非教职员的补助金申请(例如.g., 行政管理职位, student assistants) must conform to the salary scale and benefit eligibility of regularly budgeted college positions. 资助为期六个月或以上的职位, and of half-time or greater are eligible for benefits as defined in the college’s benefit plan. The funding request must cover the full cost of salaries and benefits for any grant-funded position.
福利可能包括雇主对FICA的贡献, 工人的补偿, 失业保险, 医疗保险, 人寿保险, 还有养老金计划, 这取决于所讨论的人和时间. The current average benefit rate for regular, full-time employees is approximately 31 percent. 然而, 实际包含的汇率可能会有所不同:例如, in most cases when a faculty member is requesting summer salary for themselves, 唯一适用的福利是雇主对FICA的供款, at 7.65%. 教师 members are urged to consult with the 助学金办公室 on personnel costs in their budgets. 在提案预算中，福利成本被视为直接成本, but are not counted against the salaries and wages base for the purposes of calculating the F&一个数量.
Salary supplements or substitutions for teaching during the academic year must be negotiated on an individual basis. Any grant that requires that the faculty member take a leave should be reported to the dean of academic affairs responsible for that department as soon as possible. 请参阅 教师手册 有关休假的政策.
Project proposals that cover more than one year should include salary and wage increases of 2-3 percent in subsequent years. Please check with the 助学金办公室 when preparing the budget as salary increases will affect the amount budgeted for benefits.
Grant-funded student research assistants working during the summer months should be paid at rates approved by the college based on the rate currently used by the 教师 Research Committee for the Student Research program. These rates are currently in flux as state and federally mandated minimum wage rates are increasing. For grant-funded student work with lesser responsibilities, refer to the rates set by the 财政援助办事处 对勤工助学.
Grant requests for student summer support should add the cost of the employer’s FICA share at 7.65%. Full-time students are exempt from FICA withholding during the academic year.
Principal investigators/program directors (PI/PDs) are responsible for making summer on-campus housing arrangements, 根据需要, 学生研究助理. 请尽快联系住宿生活办公室. The cost of summer housing and board (currently estimated at $165/week) is sometimes contributed by the college when students’ stipends are paid by a grant.
学院的里程报销率是0美元.625/mile; grant requests should not exceed this rate. All budgeted travel charges should be based on reasonable and customary costs.
