The InfoEd PD Budget is organized into six basic sections: Budget, F&A, Cost Sharing, Justifications, Versions, and Setup. The “Budget” section is the primary work area and contains a breakout for each project period; this work area also contains detailed F&A and cost sharing information. The Versions tab allows you to create and store multiple working budgets. The Setup tab is where you establish your budget preferences.

The first thing to do when creating a budget is to inspect the Setup tab for accuracy; this will make the entire process more efficient.

The PD Budget also provides templates for entering subcontract and subproject information. Each of these areas work the same way as the main proposal budget areas.

PD Project Personnel are linked to the budget tab such that any personnel listed within the budget area will automatically populate into the personnel tab.

Note: The budget template is designed to support simple or complex schemes and much of the work is (such as F&A calculations) are automated, however, you can override any system calculations and perform manual entry as needed.
