Building a Budget – Financial Basics for Research Proposals

Dear Colleagues – CHIPTS is excited to invite you to a career-development webinar titled “Building a Budget – Financial Basics for Research Proposals” on Thursday, March 9, 2022 from 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM PT. Learn more and register below.

During this webinar, Laura Sheehan, Manager of Research Administration for the Department of Family Medicine at UCLA DGSOM, will review the basics of how to create a budget that will meet the needs of your research proposal while remaining within the confines of sponsor restrictions. Areas of discussion will include reviewing sponsor guidelines, best practices for quantifying research team member effort, how a project’s timeline, scope, and scale will affect the budget, how to create a customized excel template to help build your budget, understanding overhead and other common budget elements, and how to craft a comprehensive budget justification.

The objectives of the webinar include:

1. Identifying and describing common elements of a research budget
2. Dissecting sponsor guidelines to glean important information needed to create a strong budget proposal
3. Determining how project needs might affect specific budget line items
4. Describing best practices for crafting a budget justification

All are welcome. We especially encourage emerging investigators, post-doctoral students, and graduate students interested in research to join.
