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., 2 months summer salary for the P.I.; 3 months of support, including overhead and fringe benefits, for a graduate student who will work on the data reduction; an 18 GByte hard disk drive for storage of the data and data analysis products). Proposers should note that each review Panel has a limited budget allocation for AR and Theory Proposals. They should therefore provide a careful justification of the requested items, and explain why they are necessary to achieve the scientific goals of the program. See Chapter 12 for details on Grant Policies and allowable costs.
