The has special budgeting guidelines for sponsored projects. OCG has official internal processes to ensure consistency as a university in budgeting for NIH proposals. Consult your Proposal Analyst, the NIH Cost Estimation Tool, and NIH Checklists for details on budgeting for NIH, including information on modular versus detailed budgets, and on salary caps for certain project personnel.
