About this file
This is a budget justification template for the Water Resources Research Act Program National Competitive Grants FY2026 (104g General), administered by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Department of the Interior. The template requires applicants to provide detailed budgets for both federal and matching funds across multiple budget categories.
The template mandates itemized justifications for: salaries and wages for principal investigators, graduate students, undergraduate students, and other personnel (directors, administrative assistants, post-docs); fringe benefits and tuition costs for all personnel categories; supplies (laboratory and field, with unit costs and quantities); equipment exceeding $10,000 per unit (requiring manufacturer quotes); services and consultants (with detailed task breakdowns); travel (with destination, personnel count, per diem rates, lodging, and mileage or airfare specifics); other direct costs not categorized elsewhere; and indirect costs (with current Indirect Cost Rate Agreement documentation). The template emphasizes that costs lacking detailed explanations may not be funded, and applicants must separately document all federal and matching fund contributions for each line item.
