Budget Tips and Template

Tips for Developing Your Budget:

  1. Contact the Eberly College Research Office for the most recent version of a detailed budget template, which incorporates updated fringe benefits and indirect cost rates, calculates travel thoroughly, and accounts for up to five budget years.
  2. Carefully read through the guidelines for the funding opportunity you will be applying for to look for any budgetary requirements or restrictions you may need to adhere to (e.g., minimum/maximum allowable direct costs).
  3. If you need assistance during early stages of budget development, contact the Eberly College Research Office. You should review budget items early in the process, as you may need to address budgetary issues sooner than you think.
  4. Use the resources listed below to help you determine your budgetary needs.
