OSR has prepared a NEW budget template in Excel to facilitate preparation of sponsored project proposal budgets.

The template contains tabs for:  

(1) salary calculations spreadsheet (fill this worksheet in first);

(2) the budget spreadsheet (main budget page); and

(3) the SIT/OSR Facts & Rates Sheet

The salary and budget calculations spreadsheets are set up to automatically calculate fringe benefits, F&A (indirect) costs, and standard yearly cost increases out to five years.

Use the salary calculations spreadsheet to input salaries and stipends; the numbers will fill populate into the main budget spreadsheet.  To change the F&A (indirect) cost rate, first check the Fact Sheet for the correct rate for your center and type of project (or call OSR if you aren't sure which rate is correct), then change the percentage in lines 41 and 42 of the budget template spreadsheet.
