It requires negotiating several fronts: your own needs as the project leader; the requirements of your collaborators, students, and staff; the restrictions of your research or creative environment; and the rules of the funding agency you’re applying to, often complex and not always clear. As a result, researchers sometimes form a habit of preparing the budget late in the grant writing process, or devoting less time to budget materials than other components (e.g., the project narrative). For funders, however, budget materials are some of the most closely-scrutinized components of the proposal. The best-written budgets and justifications can "tell their own story" of the research activities in a proposal, and funders are keen to know their money will be handled with care. That is why, for the fifth session of the UC Davis Grant Writing Bootcamp, we're talking about budgets and their justifications: how to construct them, the various ways they are used during review, and the top traits of strong (and weak!) budget materials. |
