Budget Justifications

Budget justifications are 2-3 sentence descriptions that explain what each member or group in your project will do, how each item will be used, and why it is necessary for the project.

Double check what expenses your sponsor will and will not allow as these differ among sponsors. All costs need to be allowable, reasonable, and allocable.

Budget Justification Examples:

• General Budget Justification
• NIH Detailed Budget Justification
• NIH Personnel Justification
• NSF Budget Justification
