提案开发

写提案

Funding opportunities typically come in the form of a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). These documents are provided by the grantor and include detailed instructions and any specific forms required by the funding agency. When writing a proposal, it is important to follow the requirements of the RFP or NOFO. Please forward potential funding opportunities to osp@wjqklgz.com, so that we can assist with meeting these requirements.

Funding agencies have a team of reviewers who will evaluate your proposal against many others to determine which get funded. Clarity and consistency with the RFP or NOFO will make this process easier for reviewers. Take care to include required sections, 给它们贴上清楚的标签, and thoroughly address specific topics according to the RFP or NOFO.

Write for your reviewers–that is, for an audience with the necessary background to evaluate the effectiveness of your project plan. 然而, 除非你知道, do not assume that the reviewers are technical experts in your field. 要清晰简洁.

预算发展

The budget serves to identify the costs of the project to the sponsor. The budget also serves as a further measure of the Project Director’s capabilities, since there must be a reasonable correlation between the project as described and the Project Director’s assessment of the various cost elements.

The budget is composed of 3 parts—Direct 成本s, Indirect 成本s, and Budget Justification.

Direct 成本s: Direct 成本s are costs that can be distinctly identified as supporting or benefiting the project–such as salaries and fringe benefits, 旅行, 供应, third-party contracted services, and equipment dedicated to the project. Please contact the 赞助项目办公室 for additional guidance on direct cost categories. 也可参阅预算模板.

Indirect 成本s: Indirect costs, also known as Facilities and Administrative (F&)成本, are costs of doing business that are not distinctly identified as supporting or benefiting a specific project or cost objective, but that are necessary for the general operation of the organization and conduct of the activities it performs. Indirect 成本s are calculated as a percentage of direct costs in the budget (not as a percentage of the total award). FSU uses its Federally negotiated indirect cost rate as a basis for calculating and charging indirect costs on a project. The indirect cost rate may be limited by the funder, in which case the rate used in the budget should comply with the funder’s requirements.

Budget Justification: The budget justification provides an explanation for each budget line item, 它的目的, 它是如何计算的, and why it is necessary to carry out the project objectives.

成本份额

在某些情况下, a funder may require that FSU cost share, 或匹配, a portion of the total project cost. 成本 sharing requirements may be expressed as a ratio between the sponsor’s share and the applicant’s share or as a percentage of the total project costs. 例如, a “1-to-1 match” (a ratio) means that each party contributes the same amount toward total project costs. A “50% match” (a percentage) means that the applicant is responsible for 50% of the total project costs. A “1-to-1 match” and a “50% match” mean the same thing expressed in different ways.

The University’s match may come from several sources:

• Other support for the same project (for a Federal grant, non-Federal funds only)
• 教师 members’ time spent on the project during the academic year for which no funds are being requested
• Funds from the University Department or College
• Unrecovered or waived indirect costs (special approval is required)
• Funds from the University Matching Fund (special approval is required)

成本份额, 或匹配, should only be included in a proposed budget when explicitly required by the sponsor.
