Justify budget costs in detail according to the sponsor instructions. Sponsor scientific reviewers may do a preliminary cost analysis using the budget justification to determine if the science justifies the budgeted cost.<\/p>\n<p>Review the <a href=\"\/research\/collaboration\/collaborative-proposal-resources\/budget_justification_primer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">budget justification primer<\/a> for examples.<\/p>\n<p>Explain estimates or unusual circumstances in your budget justification.

If you believe your program qualifies for an exception, you must describe how the <a href=\"\/research\/myresearch-lifecycle\/plan-and-propose\/budget\/#admin-clerical\">four criteria for direct charging administrative\/clerical costs<\/a> are met.<\/p>\n<p>OSP\u2019s approval of the eGC1 or the sponsor making an award based on your proposal where the criteria for direct charging administrative\/clerical costs were\u00a0met, does not mean those costs cannot be questioned later.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cs\">Cost Share<\/h2>\n<p>Cost share is the costs of a sponsored project that the sponsor does NOT pay for.<\/p>\n<p>A sponsor can require cost share and must state this requirement in the funding opportunity. A cost share commitment also occurs when a proposal includes allowable expenses or quantifiable contributions that will not be charged to the sponsor (e.g. effort level of personnel listed with no commensurate request for salary).<\/p>\n<p>Cost share is not expected by federal sponsors if the agency does not include a cost share requirement in the funding opportunity. When not mandatory, the inclusion of a cost share commitment may not be used as a factor in merit review. Voluntary cost share, therefore, should not be presented in the proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Cost sharing is discouraged and leads to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>lower Facilities and Administrative (F&amp;A) rates,<\/li>\n<li>increased administrative burden,<\/li>\n<li>redirection of University resources from other University activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When cost share is submitted in a proposal and accepted by the sponsor it becomes a binding commitment. The department\/PI is required to provide, monitor and report on the committed resources during the project.<\/p>\n<p>Sponsor approval is <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.uw.edu\/gca\/cost-share#UIDC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">required to claim waived F&amp;A as cost share<\/a>. When direct costs are contributed as cost share, the associated F&amp;A is also considered cost share.<\/p>\n<p>Approvals from other  91探花units contributing cost share must be on the eGC1 or otherwise documented.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featured-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"featured-content-body\"><strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\nGrant &amp; Contract Accounting <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.uw.edu\/gca\/cost-share\">Cost Share<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.uw.edu\/gca\/GCA_Cost_Share_Addendum\">Cost Share Addendum<\/a><\/div>\n<div>CORE: <a href=\"\/research\/research-administration-learning\/introduction-to-cost-share-at-the-uw-when-is-it-really-cost-share\/\">Introduction to Cost Share<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"clinical-budget\">Clinical Research Budget Resources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.uwmedicine.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clinical Trials Office (CTO)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iths.org\/investigators\/handbook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" name=\"id000002074\">Clinical Research Handbook<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/research\/myresearch-lifecycle\/setup\/sponsor-requirements\/clinical-research\/\">Clinical Research<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"animals\">Animal Research Considerations<\/h2>\n<p>Costs and budget issues to consider include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Animal housing costs (<a href=\"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/compmed\/billing\/rates.html\">per diems<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Special lab equipment, specialized housing arrangements, or specialized services<\/li>\n<li>Timing considerations: approvals prior to animal acquisition, quarantine, training requirements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The following services are covered under F&amp;A costs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Training in animal use and handling<\/li>\n<li>Protocol review<\/li>\n<li>Grant\/protocol congruence review<\/li>\n<li>Protocol development assistance<\/li>\n<li>Standard veterinary care<\/li>\n<li>Standard animal husbandry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"hsr\">Human Subjects Research Considerations<\/h2>\n<p>Costs and budget issues to consider include:<\/p>\n<h3>Staffing<\/h3>\n<p>Consider whether you will need to hire staff, or contract with UW&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iths.org\/resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Institute for Translational Health Services (ITHS)<\/a>\u00a0for staff. Decide whether you will need a staff person to serve as an <a href=\"\/research\/hsd\/single-irb\/uw-lead-coordinating-site\/responsibilities-lead-study-team\/#liaison\">Institutional Review Board (IRB) liaison<\/a> because the  91探花will be the lead for collaborative or multi-site research that is being reviewed by a single IRB.<\/p>\n<p>At all times, it is the PI\u2019s responsibility to ensure all trainees or center activities involving human subjects are carried out under an approved IRB study number.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Subject payment or reimbursement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Include any subject payments or reimbursement of subjects&#8217; expenses. If subjects&#8217; health insurance will be charged for research-related clinical items and services; consider whether the grant will pay for co-pays and deductibles.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>IRB review fees<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The  91探花IRBs do not currently charge review fees though this may change for the review of non- 91探花sites. However, if the research will be reviewed by a non- 91探花(external) IRB, the external IRB may charge fees. You may need to include IRB review fees in the budget in the following situations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The  91探花is the lead site for collaborative or multi-site research and a non- 91探花single IRB will be used for all sites or institutions involved in the research. For NIH grants, see this <a href=\"https:\/\/grants.nih.gov\/grants\/guide\/notice-files\/NOT-OD-18-004.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NIH Guidance<\/a>. HSD can also provide guidance on how to identify and estimate costs.<\/li>\n<li>The study is industry-initiated and industry-funded and the sponsor will not pay the fees directly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Human Subjects Division (HSD) administrative fee<\/h3>\n<p>If your research is industry-initiated and industry-funded, you must send the study to an independent IRB (for example WCG IRB or Advarra) for IRB approval instead of the  91探花IRB. The industry sponsor will pay the IRB review fees charged by the independent IRB, but they are also required to pay HSD an administrative fee. This administrative fee should be included in your budget. See HSD&#8217;s information on the <a href=\"\/research\/hsd\/is-the-uw-irb-the-right-irb\/identify-the-correct-irb\/industry-sponsored-research\/#admin\">HSD Administrative Fee<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Emergency medicine research<\/h3>\n<p>Emergency medicine research that requires the special <a href=\"\/research\/forms-and-templates\/checklist-exception-from-informed-consent\/\">Exception to Informed Consent<\/a> must conduct community consultation before beginning the study, which requires funds. Consult with HSD for guidance about appropriate activities, based on the nature of the research intervention and the study population. It almost always involves more than public service announcements, news releases and bus placards.<\/p>\n<h3>Interpretation and translation<\/h3>\n<p>Federal nondiscrimination laws require clinical trials to allow interested and eligible subjects to participate even if they do not speak English. This means that researchers should develop a plan for how translation and interpretation will be provided for interested and eligible subjects. For studies that may have small numbers of these subjects, this may best be handled by including in the budget the cost of retaining an interpretation and translation service that can be called upon as needed.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ehs\">Environmental Health and Safety (EH&amp;S) Considerations<\/h2>\n<p>If your project includes hazardous materials review the following considerations.<\/p>\n<p>Take into account costing allocation of materials.
