Cayuse424 Basic Budget Concepts

• Cayuse424 supports budget preparation as follows
• Autofills Principal Investigator and Senior/Key
  Persons information from their Professional
  Profiles.
• Functions like a spreadsheet and performs budget
  calculations once salary, effort and other
  requested fund amounts are specified.
• Allows users to override auto-filled salary
  amounts as desired.
• Performs cost replication and escalation for all
  budget categories on multiple budget periods.

6
Key Variables

• There are several key variables that come into
  play on the budget forms.
• Each variable is discussed on the next several
  slides.

7
Salary

• The budget function sources salary information
  for PIs and Senior/Key Persons from their
  respective Professional Profiles.
• Salary is based on appointment type (e.g.,
  calendar, academic).
• Cayuse424 cannot auto-calculate salary fields on
  the budget pages unless appointment type and
  salary are specified in the Professional Profile.
• Salary for Principal Investigators is autofilled
  on the budget pages when the proposal is created.
• Salary for Senior/Key Persons can be autofilled
  once they are added to the proposal.
• In the event salary data can not be sourced from
  the Professional Profile or it is autofilled with
  incorrect information it can be entered directly
  into the appropriate field(s) on the budget
  pages.

8
Fringe Rates

• Institutional Base Fringe Rate and other fringe
  rates are set in the Institutional Profile.
• Default rates for individuals are set once they
  are affiliated with an institution.
• Fringe rates specific to an individual can be
  added in their Professional Profile.
• Pertinent fringe rates are applied automatically
  to all salary calculations.
• Autofilled fringe rates can be overridden if
  required.

9
Indirect Costs

• Indirect Costs are set up in the Institutional
  Profile
• Indirect Cost Type Defaults for Budget Page Items
• Additional Indirect Cost Types along with their
  default settings
• When you create a proposal and name the
  institution all indirect cost type information
  associated with that institution is used as a
  basis for budget calculations.
• If you name a Key Person who represents a
  sub-institution, the indirect cost types for that
  institution will be used in calculations for that
  person.

10
Budget Periods

• Proposals can only be created if the budget
  period(s) are specified.
• Up to five budget periods can be specified.
• The number of Budget Periods can be changed once
  the proposal is created.
• When working with multiple budget periods, it is
  important to ensure that the correct data (e.g.,
  months of effort, IDC rates, travel expenses,
  etc.) is input for all relevant budget periods
  otherwise the proper calculations will not occur.

11
Cayuse424 Integrating Data and Function

• Each key component within Cayuse424 works
  together to make budget preparation fast and
  convenient.

Sub-Award NIH Requirements

• For Opportunities that require a full budget you
  must attach the complete subaward proposal.
• NIH cannot compare your grant costs correctly to
  the direct cost limitation without the complete
  subaward budget
• NIH cannot calculate the indirect costs on subs
  without the attachment.
• If this information isnt provided your proposal
  may be rejected or delayed after submission.
