Developing Proposal Budgets
A good budget will account for all the costs of a project, and is often subject to limitations described in the Sponsor's proposal guidelines. A budget justification or budget narrative is routinely required to provide the sponsor with detail regarding the request and an understanding of how the proposed costs will support the aims of the project.
