Dana,

When you use the NIH modular budget, you only need to include a budget justification for the personnel costs, to include all persons & un-named roles. No dollar amount should be included, but level of effort is needed.  If you have a Subrecipient, then you need to include another document, providing the name & role of the Subrecipient, as well as the total direct costs & their indirect cost amount.  As all the years are to be represented in the first budget period, there is no need to include a budget justification document for variance in you modular budget amount in subsequent years.

Subject: [RESADM-L] NIH REAP Budget Justification

Dear Colleagues,

I would greatly appreciate your guidance regarding the required format for the Budget Justification on an NIH REAP using the RR Budget (requesting the full $300,000).

I prepared a full budget justification, but just saw the following in the FOA, which suggests a PERSONNEL justification is required, which is typically only required for a modular:

R&R Budget (direct costs of $250,001 to $300,000):

All instructions in the SF424 (R&R) Application Guide must be followed, with the following additional instructions:

Budget Period 1: Direct Costs

 *   Total Direct Costs less Consortium F&A: This number must not exceed $300,000.

Budget Justification:

 *   Personnel Justification: Since a primary objective of the REAP is to expose students to meritorious research, PD(s)/PI(s) must include undergraduate students and/or graduate students from the applicant institution/applicant component in the proposed research. Indicate aspects of the proposed research in which students will participate. If participating students have not yet been individually identified, the number and academic level of those to be involved should be provided. If there are any Collaborators or Consultants for the project, provide their names, organizational affiliations, and the services they will perform.

Justification for phases – PD(s)/PI(s) must include a justification for the allocation of resources during the three proposed phases of the project. See "Research Strategy" below.

Thank you all,
Dana
