This is a categorical budget form template for the Ryan White program covering the period April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026. The form provides a comprehensive structure for detailing personnel costs, fringe benefits, travel expenses, equipment purchases, supplies, contractual services, and other direct/administrative costs. The template includes formulas and examples for calculating various budget line items, including detailed breakdowns for staff positions, travel expenses, and equipment purchases.

The budget template requires all costs to be separated into direct and administrative categories, with administrative costs capped at 10% of the total budget. The form requires submission in whole dollars only (no cents) and mandates that a current negotiated indirect cost rate documentation be attached. Key expense categories include personnel calculations based on monthly rates and time allocations, standardized travel expense calculations (including specific per diem rates for meals: breakfast $16, lunch $19, dinner $28), and detailed breakdowns for operational expenses such as space rental, utilities, equipment maintenance, and professional services.
