winning budget for a grant proposal. This session will explore the
fundamentals in allocating direct costs, indirect costs, fringe
benefits, and explain as to how they all relate to one another
within a grant proposal. In addition, you will learn specifics
pertaining to allowable costs vs. unallowable costs, as well as how
a budget should properly reflect your narrative.
The STJ Grant Application Process & Electronic
Submissions (Thursday, October 27, Marillac 137 from 2 p.m. –
3 p.m.): The submission process for all outgoing Federal
grant proposals has transitioned to electronic formats- paper
submissions and Xerox machines are nearly things of the past. All
Federal proposals are mandated to be submitted through Grants.gov;
this session is designed to prepare you for the process of
submitting your proposal through this server. In addition, we will
discuss the internal process pertaining to submitting a proposal to
an external agency through St. John’s University.
