Budgeting Your Research: Budget Strategies That Support Your NIH Proposal

LIVE Webinar: Thursday, July 7  1:00 P.M. EST • 60 Minutes

One of the most challenging questions posed by the NIH short form is, “How much money do you think you need to do the proposed work?” This open-ended inquiry can be a minefield for PIs who’ve struggled with the budget section before. If you indicate a number on the lower end, the reviewers may think you can’t plan adequately or accommodate unforeseen setbacks.
If you’re number seems too high, the panel may think you’re trying to “game the system.” So exactly, how do you determine your budget, and what do you say about it?  This number-crunching Webinar will highlight the differences between modular and detailed budgets and reveal how to balance NIH wants and needs with your institution’s requirements. You’ll learn how to write budget justifications and estimate expenses. And find out the NIH rules on allowed amounts.

5 Key Take-Aways:

A realistic perspective on costs
Proper budget justification for the monies proposed
Your institution’s likely needs for local-level approvals
Money pits in modular grants
How to know what research ideas will cost more than others

This Webinar is Perfect for Scientists Who Want To:

Accurately estimate expenditures
Correctly itemize expenses
Know the NIH rules for justification and program consultation
Evaluate indirect costs paid to other institutions through collaboration
