Budget Tool – For use in drafting budgets only.  DO NOT SEND TO SPONSORS.

The purpose of the SPS Pre-Award Budget Tool is to enable principal investigators to develop their own draft budgets within certain criteria (if desired) or to receive a budget created by Pre-Award and be able to make adjustments on their own.  The budget developed using this tool is not intended to be sent to a sponsor without Pre-Award review and approval.

Accessing and Using the Budget Tool:  The tool may be downloaded from this page and edited within Microsoft Excel. Once an investigator starts to work with a Pre-Award Specialist on revising/validating a budget, it will be encouraged to use the Purdue Box application for sharing and editing the Budget Tool as opposed to downloading and emailing multiple versions.

Current Version (November 2022):  The current version of the Budget Tool is limited to a 36-month or less project period.  Specific criteria and limitations for use are identified in the below table.  Future versions are in development and will be released in the coming months
