Pro Tips for fields 15a – 15d 

In the course of your application preparation, your budget numbers may change.  Always make sure that your budget numbers throughout all documents, including your budget justification, are consistent.  Give yourself time to go back and check before you submit as it is very easy to overlook a change, particularly in a text-based document such as the budget justification. 

 

Make sure that your total budget does not exceed the amount allotted by the FOA.
