To create an SF-424A compliant federal grant budget, this skill orchestrates BLS OEWS and GSA Per Diem data to calculate institutional salaries, fringe benefits, MTDC/TDC bases, and NICRA handling, producing a multi-sheet Excel workbook with a justification narrative.

Benchmarking personnel costs for a government cooperative agreement budget is done by orchestrating BLS OEWS data to determine defensible salary calculations, while GSA Per Diem data standardizes travel allocations across multiple project years.

Yes, you can generate a grant budget from a project narrative. The skill supports budget-from-narrative workflows by translating project descriptions into defensible cost allocations, multi-year escalation, and a complete SF-424A workbook.

Yes, this budgeting skill handles NIH salary caps and F&A rate applications. It calculates modified total direct costs (MTDC), total direct costs (TDC), and S&W bases to ensure regulatory compliance across multi-year federal grant budgets.

To build a multi-year federal grant budget, you need to enter your personnel details, location, project period, and indirect cost parameters. The skill then applies multi-year escalation to generate the complete budget.

Federal grant budget reviews require MTDC and NICRA calculations to ensure proper indirect cost application and regulatory compliance. The skill automates these calculations to validate existing budgets and benchmark them against current BLS and GSA standards.
