BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS

See JCU Information for indirect cost, fringe benefit rates, and other pertinent budget considerations.

In planning for new employees, review the hiring policies and salary scale for JCU employees; contact the Director of Sponsored Research for information. When planning a budget for multi-year projects, remember to add in increases for salaries, tuition, room and board, and costs that may rise due to inflation.

The Excel spreadsheet below lists common categories of budget items and can assist in compiling a complete budget. The fringe benefit and indirect cost rate can be modified to automatically configure varying percentages based on agency requirements. For assistance with this form, contact Catherine Anson.
