The "Budget Narrative" is a critical element in the Project Statement which reflects the cost estimates by project and subaccount program with additional information to show that the project is cost effective. Applicants should provide a justification for each budget category. This justification should be a brief general description of the costs that makeup the category, yet provide enough detail to demonstrate that the applicant has a financial plan for implementation of the proposed objectives.
