3. Proposals – How to Budget
First rule of budgeting, the budget must be realistic and must be an accurate representation of all costs related to the project.
Budget justifications must justify all items on the budget and must be linked to your Scope of Work (SoW). Think of the budget justification as the executive summary of your SoW from a budget perspective.

7. Proposals – How to Budget
Equipment vs. Supplies
Equipment is any single apparatus over $5,000 and does not have F&A; supplies are everything else.
F&A
Facilities and Administration (F&A) or Indirect Costs
Cal Maritime use an Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC) base for calculating F&A on proposals.
F&A is not charged on equipment, scholarships, participant support, and subaward amounts in excess of $25,000.
Participant Support - means direct costs for items such as stipends or subsistence allowances, travel allowances, and registration fees paid to or on behalf of participants or trainees (but not employees) in connection with conferences or training projects.

8. Proposals – Collaborative Proposals
The Principal Investigator on a Collaborative proposals is the lead PI. There can only be one PI on each proposal. If you are not the lead PI, then you will be a Co-PI.
If you are not the lead PI, then Cal Maritime will not be the lead institution. This means the other institution will shoulder the majority of the approval burden. The proposal will still need Cal Maritime approval, and will have to route through our normal approval process.

9. Proposals – Scope of Work and Deliverable Scheduling
Scope of Work (SoW)
Developing a Proposal Concept
Writing Successful Proposals
Grants 102 Workshop
Deliverable Scheduling
Make sure the schedule of deliverables is realistic and matches the SoW and budget.
Each deliverable is comprised of a task and an end product.
Each task should have measurable items in it and the deliverable must be quantifiable.

10. PI Responsibilities
The role of the Principal Investigator (PI) is the individual primarily responsible for the development and fulfillment of the award.

Development of the proposal budget (can also be done with assistance from Sponsored Programs)
