Building Better Budgeting Tools for Research Development Professionals

The budget is an important part of the proposal review process, and if it is not well justified, it can affect the review score almost as much as the science. However, the budget development process is one of the most intimidating components for faculty researchers. Our role as Research Development (RD) professionals can help make this task less overwhelming and time consuming in the proposal development process with the right RD tools in place. This session will focus on helping RD professionals build budgeting tools that fit their institutional and research faculty needs. We will discuss and showcase the budgeting tools we have in place in the UofSC College of Engineering and Computing’s Research Enhancement and Development Office (RED Team), including streamlined, but comprehensive budget templates and narrative boilerplates.

Danielle McElwain, University of South Carolina and Rebecca Wessinger, University of South Carolina will be the speakers for this TNT.

Tools and Tips "TnT" talks are intended as short, informal talks where someone in RD shares some practical information on a process, software or approach that has worked well for them in a facet of their daily RD world.
