Questions 1-4
  1. Duration - drop-down list driven by funding years selected at call configuration
  2. Budget Type - selection triggers IDC rate defaults for non-sub-awards (how can this be customized?)
  3. Worksheet Title - can be anything
  4. (a) "Is this award to a non - <your institution> investigator?" - toggles worksheet as a sub-award
    (b) "If yes, does your institution have an active sub-award w/ MIT Sea Grant?" - for use with sub-awards (see Other Costs)
Matching Support
You may configure per call and per phase whether matching funds are required, and at what rates. Other Costs

Options
Sub-award (provide label)
Sub-award NOT subject to indirect (provide label)
Other cost subject to indirect (describe)
Other cost NOT subject to indirect (describe)
Tuition NOT subject to indirect cost

All of these options are required by eSeaGrant and must not be removed from nor edited in the database table other_cost_types. "Sub-award NOT subject to indirect" is used primarily when Question #4a "If yes,…" is true.

For sub-awards, PIs submit one Statement of Work per project and a sub-award budget for each funding year involving a sub-award, populate the Other Cost line in worksheet with the appropriate values from the corresponding sub-award budget, and justify. If including justification in sub-award upload, they should note this in the justification text box.

Section

 

Budget information enters the system one of two ways: as a single set of totals, in the case of pre-proposals, or as worksheets.

Worksheets are automatically compiled in real-time by the system to generate 90-4s. 90-4s always reflect the project, investigator, and funding year data entered in the associated worksheets.

Worksheets are editable only via the web, but are easily accessible from the FMP 'Budgets' layout, as well as the following other locations:

90-4 Header Fields

Grantee : If

Sub

90-

Award? is set in budget worksheet to 'Yes', the corresponding 90-4's Grantee field is set to PI's institution, and a green '+ Sub-Award CP' button is shown in next to 90-4 listing in corresponding Pre-Proposals and Full Proposals layouts

4 is a sub-award, then this field is automatically set to the PI's institution. If 'No', this field is automatically set to

eSG

the SG host institution.

Grant Number : Driven by Grant Number assignment in associated 90-2. Setting this value in 90-2 triggers assignment of corresponding value in 90-4s for future funding years.

Project Number : Driven by Project Number assignment in associated 90-2.

You may adjust the SG and/or Grantee share of Total Costs in each 90-4 using this field. The SG and Grantee Total Costs fields are the only ones affected.

Sub-awards

The Sub-Award setting for a budget is initially set by the PI,

PIs indicate that a worksheet is a sub-award when they answer 'Yes' to the budget worksheet question "Is this award to a non - <your institution> investigator?". This setting is reflect by the "Sub-Award?" toggle in the 'Budgets' layout.

Sub-award 90-4s must be accompanied by a sub-award coverpage. To create a sub-award coverpage for a 90-4, click the green '+ Sub-Award CP' button that accompanies the 90-4

's listing

as listed in the Pre-Proposals and Full Proposals layouts ('Budgets' tab). This creates a new 90-4 pre-configured as a coverpage for the selected 90-4, with the host institution

Excluding a 90-4 from Summary Calculations

This toggle allows for a 90-4

coverpages are automatically included in summary calculations (e.g. Overall 90-4 for FY, Overall 90-4 for proposal, etc), while the sub-award 90-4s themselves are automatically excluded. To selectively exclude other 90-4s, set the 'Exclude this 90-4 in summary calculations?' radio button for a 90-4 to 'Yes'.

to be excluded in budget summary reports, with the exception of the Cumulative 90-4 and Overall 90-4 by FY (see RFP Reports in FMP).

Refer to the  used by PIs during a 2014 MITSG Omnibus RFP for a complete set of instructions for using the eSeaGrant budget worksheet.

Questions 1 - 4

  1. Duration - This drop-down list driven by the funding years selected in call configuration (see Call Management).
  2. Budget Type - Selection triggers auto-population of Section H IDC rates of non-sub-award budgets with relevant default rates (e.g. on-campus rate, off-campus rate, other) for the host institution. For this to work properly, default rates for each funding year must be included in the Funding Years table (see Call Management).
  3. Worksheet Title - can be anything
  4. (a) "Is this award to a non - <your institution> investigator?" - 'Yes' toggles worksheet as a sub-award
    (b) "If yes, does your institution have an active sub-award w/ MIT Sea Grant?" - for use with Other Cost sub-awards (see below)


Other Costs

Options
Sub-award (provide label)
Sub-award NOT subject to indirect (provide label)
Other cost subject to indirect (describe)
Other cost NOT subject to indirect (describe)
Tuition NOT subject to indirect cost

All of these options are required variables in eSeaGrant and must not be removed from nor edited in the database table other_cost_types.

"Sub-award NOT subject to indirect" is used primarily when the answer to question #4b ("If yes,…") is 'Yes'.

For Other Cost sub-awards, PIs submit one Statement of Work per proposal and a sub-award budget for each funding year involving a sub-award, populate the Other Cost line in worksheet with the appropriate values from the corresponding sub-award budget, and justify. If including justification in sub-award upload, they should note this in the justification text box.
