Developing a strong budget justification is critical to the success of the major research proposal, especially one that is for a center, a program, or deals with a more complex project such as a large fabrication. This webinar is designed for the research administrator who needs to enhance their expertise in crafting precise, detailed, complex, compliant, and competitive budget justifications. Attendees will refine their skills and leave with practical tools to strengthen the financial foundation of their proposals.
Learning Objectives
- Anticipating potential budgetary challenges and justifying them proactively.
- Justifying complex or high-cost line items with clarity and persuasiveness.
- Identifying and avoiding potential pitfalls and post-award issues that can arise when justifications are inadequate.
Format of webinar: 90-minute presentation, followed by 55 minutes of discussion.
