Budgeting for Broader Impacts

Broader impacts activities require time to plan, organize, and host and might have additional material component or venue costs. The more detailed your plans for broader impacts activities are, the easier it will be to identify and budget for those resulting costs. Once you have a well formed vision for your broader impacts activities and have met with collaborators, here are some questions to to help clarify what the budget needs might be.

Things to Include:

• Will the project include the work of a center, organization, or other expert? Include salary and fringe for their time on the project.

• Will you need any materials or supplies to support your broader impact activities?

• Will the broader impact activities require travel for the research team or other partners?

• Will participants need to travel? Stipends, travel, and meal costs for participants should be included under Participant Costs.

• Will you need to rent space or facilities?

• If you're creating an online resource, how much will servers and electricity or web hosting services cost?

• Will there be a continuing cost commitment? How will that be supported if it extends beyond the life of the grant?
