Base Salary field for Senior Persons

The Base Salary by Period table provides a mechanism to control the Base Salary values that appear on certain Grants.gov Budget forms (RR Budget 5 & 10 year, Fed/Non-Fed Budget 5 & 10 Year).  Requirements for Use: Maintain an inflation rate factor in the parameter, but users may manually enter calculated values. Administrator role required to maintain the parameter DEFAULT_INFLATION_RATE_FOR_SALARY.

 

Using the Calculated Base Salary inflation tool:

The Project Personnel Details window tab contains the fields for base salaries per period:

•      Click the “calculate” button to have the system multiply the Base Salary field by the centrally maintained rate.

•      Or manually enter the base values you wish to appear on the RR Budget form.

The number of budget periods available is determined by the number of budget periods established. No more than 10 budget period fields will be provided as the Grants.gov budget forms provide only 5 or 10 budget periods.

 

 

 

 

Tuition is considered an “Other Direct Cost” by definition on this Budget form, and is grouped with other similar expenses in line 8.

 

 

H. Indirect Costs:

The indirect costs will be detailed by rate. If there are multiple applicable rates for the period, an indirect cost line will be populated for each rate.

Cognizant Federal Agency

The information (agency name, POC name and phone number) is populated from the proposal's Organization record, using the address book entry for the maintained cognizant auditor.

J. Fee: Generally, a fee is not allowed on a grant or cooperative agreement; we do support this field.
