Appendix D budget worksheet~9.xlsx

This is a budget worksheet template for the Gaming to Gambling Research Services contract opportunity in Massachusetts. The document provides a standardized framework for applicants to detail project costs across seven main budget categories: personnel, fringe benefits, equipment and supplies, contracted services, travel expenses, other expenses, and indirect costs. Each section includes designated fields for itemizing costs, establishing base amounts, applying percentages where applicable, and calculating subtotals that roll up to a total project budget figure.

The worksheet is designed to ensure comprehensive and organized cost documentation for grant applications. Personnel costs require employee names, position descriptions, annual rates, and the percentage allocation to the grant. Fringe benefits must specify the category, cost description, base cost, and applicable fringe percentage. Equipment and supplies entries need item descriptions, quantities, and unit costs. Contracted services require specification of contract type, service descriptions, rates, and quantities. Travel expenses and other costs require descriptions and explanations of computations. Indirect costs are calculated using a designated base and indirect cost percentage. All sections culminate in line-item totals that feed into the application total budget, providing complete transparency and traceability of all projected expenditures for the research services project.
