This is from the NIH Fellowship Guide (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/424/SF424_RR_Guide_Fellowship.pdf) under Section 4 – Completing the SF 424 Research and Related (R&R) Forms.

Enter the total Federal funds requested for the entire project period.

Applicant should refer to the NIH/OER Research Training Website (http://grants.nih.gov/training/extramural.htm) for current Stipend and other budgetary levels. Enter the estimated total Federal funds requested for the entire project period. For non-NRSA programs, applicant should refer to specific FOA budget information.

Kirschstein-NRSA Individual Fellowships provide a stipend to the awardee plus an allowance to the sponsoring institution to defray some of the fellow’s training expenses. Individuals sponsored by foreign institutions may also receive travel funds. Detailed information is provided in the Kirschstein-NRSA section of the NIH Grants Policy Statement at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/nihgps_2003/.

The only budget information requested in the application is that related to tuition and fees for courses which support the research training experience, and stipend/salary information for senior fellowship applicants (see instructions for PHS Fellowship Supplemental Form Section D - Budget). Other budget items are fixed, based on a formula or determined at time of award, and the applicant need not provide any information.

I’m with Janet – this is how I’ve been preparing the F32’s I’ve been working on this week also.

I believe the requested amount (stipend, institutional allowance,

tuition) goes in that line.  I'm assuming since the stipend amount and

institutional allowance is set by NIH that they are asking about tuition

because it is the only variable, but they want to know what your

expected  total cost is all the same.

Subject: [RESADM-L] F32 transition from paper to electronic

The new electronic F32 applications (non-senior fellowships) request no

budget.

The only dollar amount you would enter on the budget page would be if

tuition is

requested. This makes sense as this is how it was set up on the paper

applications. Page 2 of the R&R does however have boxes a,b, and c to

enter

project funding amounts. As we know these boxes will highlight yellow

and cause

a submission error if we do not enter something here. Who would advise a

dummy

number of zero here? Who would advise we estimate a budget here,

extrapolating

stipend level and institutional allowance?

Thanks!
