A subset of the available cost elements are used for proposal submission. As a result, many of the cost elements you may be accustomed to seeing for post-award are unavailable. KC groups the elements into budget categories to support printing of sponsor forms. These categories are dependent on the individual sponsor's needs. Each available cost element has been assigned to a budget category based on Institute use and sponsor definition. You can reset the budget category in your proposal budget version when needed to support unique budget submission requirements.
For example: It may be appropriate to change a Post-Doctoral Associate to the Senior Personnel category to have that proposal person appear in the named Senior/Key section of the S2S budget forms.

b.  Unrecovered F&A (display only): will populate with the calculated under-recovery, if any.

c.  Apply Inflation (checkbox): Uncheck Apply Inflation so the generated budget periods do not inflate.

d.  Submit Cost Sharing (checkbox): Uncheck Submit Cost Sharing so this line item’s cost share expense won’t appear on S2S forms

e.  Budget Justification Notes: you may use this box to jot down notes about this line item expense. All the notes can be consolidated to provide you with a text document that can aid in preparing your complete budget justification narrative.

f.   # of Persons: defaults to list the number of persons defined in this line item.

g.  Cost Sharing: displays the calculated cost sharing amount when the Charged amount is less than the Effort amount.

h.  On/Off campus (checkbox): defaults to the centrally maintained status for this cost element. Check or uncheck the box to change the status.

i.   Group Description: if this line was added to a group, the name will display.

8.  Expand the Rate Classes subpanel by clicking the [show] button
