9.7 Budget Narrative

(This item is required only for AR and Theory proposals)

Describe concisely, but completely, what the requested funds will support (if awarded). Use words rather than dollar amounts (e.g., 3 months of support, including overhead and fringe benefits, for a graduate student who will work on the data reduction, and a 18 GByte hard disk drive for storage of the data and data analysis products). Provide a justification for why the requested items are necessary to achieve the goals of the program. See Chapter 12 for details on Grant Policies and allowable costs.
