Re: R&R424 Budget Pages help please? Sarah Gause 22 Jun 2007 10:31 EST
We simply place a blurb in the justifications explaining that the placement of the subcontract indirects in the 424s gave the appearance of us exceeding the cap - but in reality, we did not. We very specifically mentioned "Direct costs in each year, including the direct costs from the subcontracts, are less than $500,000" several times, and had a break down of each w/ totals. You'll have a warning upon submission, but we've never had an issue. ~Sarah ************************************* Sarah G.

Okay - I'm probably missing something totally simple here but I'm completely confounded. It's my first time doing an electronic submission expanded budget pages. I've done about 20 electronic submissions with modular budgets, this is the first odd one out. This resubmission has 4 subcontracts in addition to the budget for our site ( the primary). Now, as I recall from the paper submission of this grant back in October, and per the 424 instructions, the $500,000 per year direct cost limit EXCLUDES consortium F&A costs. Here's my problem. Everything I'm reading, and everything I can find, indicates that I put the TOTAL (which I interpret as direct and indirect) subaward costs in Section F through K, line 5. Problem is, this makes the Total Direct Costs (G, about halfway down the page) OVER the $500,000 limit which directly contradicts the instructions! And I'm not sure where or how else to break this down. If I only put their direct costs in on line 5, then where would I account for their IDC costs? Has anyone else seen this? I'm probably over-analyzing again.
