Modular Budget

The Budget’s Modular screen is used to fulfill National Institutes of Health (NIH) form funding opportunity submission requirements for applications that require use of the modular budget format.  The hallmarks of the modular format are:

•      The sponsor is a PHS or NIH institute or center.  The PHS is the only sponsor that uses the modular format.

•      The funding mechanism sets funding limits by modules of $25,000 of direct costs.

•      Funding mechanisms vary on the level of direct costs in any single budget period (not including consortium F&A costs). You must refer to the specific opportunity for the allowable levels.

•      A detailed budget is not submitted to the sponsor. 

•      The modular budget form is populated with the direct cost amount per year, expressed as modules, consortium F&A costs (if any), and specific narrative attachments to justify expenses  for personnel, variance in the number of modules requested from year to year (if any), and sub-awards/consortium (if any).

•      Your detailed KC Budget will automatically populate the require fields in the Modular screen and the modular budget form it directly supports by using the Sync button.

The modular budget can be manually entered directly in the modular budget page. The budget line item details are not transmitted to the sponsors, but may be needed by your internal approval process.
