About this file
This document is a Budget Narrative that provides detailed justification and breakdown of the line-item costs in the budget for a federal grant opportunity. The key details are:
The Budget Narrative should complement the budget by explaining the purpose, reasonability, and allocation of each cost, as well as any yearly variances. It should tie expenses to program activities and objectives. The narrative should include details on personnel costs, such as roles, responsibilities, base salaries, and level of effort. If the budget includes subawards, a separate Budget Narrative is required for each organization. The applicant is also required to provide details on their overtime policy and other personnel policies that could impact the budget.
The related federal grant opportunity is the "Foreign Assistance Leveraged for Cybersecurity Operational Needs - FALCON" project, a cooperative agreement funded by the Department of State under the Cyberspace and Digital Policy program (CFDA 19.665). The objective is to support partner governments and critical infrastructure operators in identifying, preventing, responding to, mitigating, and recovering from cybersecurity incidents.

Budget Narrative
Justify each line-item in the budget and explain how the amounts were derived, consistent with the applicant’s documented policies, as well as the source and description of all proposed costs (and cost-share, if applicable). The Budget Narrative should complement the budget rather than repeat information provided in the budget. For example, the narrative should provide details on the purpose of costs, reasonability of costs, cost price analysis, explain allocations, explain any yearly variances, and tie expenses to program activities and/or objectives where appropriate. Sources of all cost-share offered in the application should be identified and explained in the budget narrative.
Personnel costs must include a clarification of the roles and responsibilities of all staff, base salary, and percentage of time devoted to the project (also known as level of effort). The Budget Narrative should support the baseline activities described in the proposal and provide additional information that might not be readily apparent in the Detailed Budget.
If the Budget includes subawards, please include a separate Budget Narrative for each organization. Please note that subaward organizations must have a SAM.gov unique entity identifier (UEI) number (certain exceptions apply).
Please include a detailed description of the applicant’s personnel overtime policy and any other personnel policies that could impact the budget given the rapid response nature of program activities. Please also include this information for partner organizations.
For ease of review, it is highly recommended that applicants order the Budget Narrative in the same order as the Detailed Budget.
Please refer to the Notice of Funding Opportunity for specific guidance and requirements.
