Navigate: Advanced Budgeting Selected Topics: Internal Proposal course is recommended for research administrators:

• with approximately two (2) or more years of on-the-job experience;
• who have been exposed to and regularly produce basic budgets for sponsored research proposals;
• are familiar with various appointment types used in sponsored project budgets, including faculty (U-year and 12-month), staff, and graduate students; and
• are familiar with how to calculate common budget elements, including indirect costs and modified total direct costs (MTDC).

By the end of the Navigate: Advanced Budgeting Selected Topics - Internal Proposals course, participants will build a complex internal budget with cost sharing and keep the documentation and Excel templates for use in developing similar budgets in their own positions. Budget attributes covered in this course include: 

• projects without a solicitation or guidelines;
• complex internally funded projects; and
• internal cost share with PIs from multiple departments.

Attendance at both sessions is mandatory. Completion of the course requires class attendance, completion of homework, and a review session.
