Re: detailed budgets for modular grants Hathaway, Charles 16 Feb 2017 08:57 EST

I have always allowed PIs to give full detailed justification of anything that was unconventional or had the potential to cause red flags to be raised.

Dear Colleagues,

We have just encountered a situation where an R03 proposal received review comments indicating that a detailed budget justification would have been helpful to evaluate and confirm the feasibility of work. We have included personnel justification, but not the justification for other items per the guidelines for the modular budget. In fact, during the proposal submission the research administrator has advised the PI to take out the budget justification for the non-personnel items of the budget.

Have you encountered a situation like this? What is your take on the PIs wanting to submit a detailed budget justification for all budget line items on modular budgets?

Thank you for any insights.
