HR001122S0030: Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) Office-wide Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
December 22, 2023
Q1: What would be the best way to get the budget submitted if we do not need the DARPA Cost Proposal Template since we are an academic institution?
A1: Go to https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/forms/r-r-family.html and scroll down to “Research & Related Budget” and click the PDF form.
Q2: There is no SF-424 field for the budget. Could you please clarify what format our educational institution should use to prepare the cost proposal?
A2: Go to https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/forms/r-r-family.html and scroll down to “Research & Related Budget” and click the PDF form.
Q3: Regarding Note 3 on pages 32-33 of the guidelines, are University proposers who are requesting a grant, cooperative agreement, or Other Transaction for Research, required to provide the aforementioned cost breakdown in an editable MS Excel spreadsheet, or can this be provided in a Word/PDF document along with the RR Budget?
A3: Please see the BAA Section IV.B.2, “Full Proposal Format,” Note 4:
University proposers requesting a grant, cooperative agreement, or Other Transaction for Research do not need to use the MS ExcelTM DARPA Standard Cost Proposal Spreadsheet.
Instead, a proposed budget and justification may be provided using the SF-424 Research & Related Budget forms provided via https://www.grants.gov. The primary budget form can be found by navigating to https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/forms/r-r-family.html, scrolling down to “Research & Related Budget,” and clicking the PDF form.
Q4: If we are to propose 2 phases, both with durations of 12 months costing $500,000 or less, would we be able to use the streamlined proposal preparation process?
A4: Please see the BAA Section II.A, “General Award Information”:
Proposals for studies that are 12 months or less in duration, cost $500,000 or less, and for which the performer is seeking an assistance instrument (grant or cooperative agreement) are provided a streamlined proposal preparation process (see Section IV.B.2, “Full Proposal Format”).
