Biosketches are required in many grant application forms and in personnel progress reports. SciENcv is typically used to create biosketches that follow the particular Sponsor\u2019s guidelines. Read <a href=\"https:\/\/grants.nih.gov\/grants\/forms\/biosketch.htm#:~:text=A%20biographical%20sketch%20(also%20referred,contributor%20on%20a%20grant%20application.\">NIH&#8217;s Biosketch Instructions<\/a> article for more information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Budget Justification<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The portion of a proposal that communicates how the funds requested will be used to accomplish the scope of work. The budget justification can be thought of as a narrative version of the budget.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consultant\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An individual who provides professional advice or services for a fee. For specifics on what this entails, refer to the section on budgeting <a href=\"https:\/\/research.ufl.edu\/dsp\/proposals\/budgeting\/direct-costs.html#Consultant%20Services\">UF Consultant Services.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost Share<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The portion of the total project costs that are not paid by the sponsor.

These costs directly benefit the scope of work. These costs must be allowable, allocable, necessary, and consistently treated. Examples include salary, fringe, supplies, travel, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Effort Commitment\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A commitment is reflective of the promise of time\/effort made to the sponsor.\u00a0 This time can be designated over the life of the award, a project period, a budget period, or to specific terms. UF talks about effort in terms of person months. For example, Dr. Smith will work on Project ABC for 3 person months each year of the project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facilities &amp; Administrative (F&amp;A) Costs \/ Indirect Costs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A representation of the expenses of doing business that are not readily identified with a particular project or activity but are necessary for the general operation of the organization and the conduct of activities it performs. Also called indirect costs, IDC, or overhead. Examples include general purpose office supplies, administrative costs, building custodial services, utilities, libraries, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fringe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Refers to \u201cFringe Benefits,\u201d which are benefits, other than salary, associated with employment at UF (insurance, retirement, etc.). When salary for a UF employee is charged to a sponsored project, fringe is also included in order to cover the cost of these benefits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Personnel\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Individuals whose specific expertise and involvement is necessary for completing the scope of work. Change in the involvement of these personnel typically requires changes to the scope of work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pre-Proposal \/ White Paper \/ Letter of Intent<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A short project description submitted to the sponsor in order to determine who will be invited to submit a full proposal. Pre-proposals include a scope of work and information about the research team.

The budget may or may not be included in the proposal narrative.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RFP\/RFA (Request for Proposal \/ Request for Application)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The invitation from funding sources to those interested in submitting applications. It will include the specific rules and documentation needed to successfully submit to the sponsor. Also called a solicitation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scope of Work<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The portion of a proposal that communicates the action plan that a PI will undertake if their submission is selected for funding. It communicates what or how research is to be accomplished.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Subcontract<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A secondary contract issued by the primary contractor or recipient (e.g, UF) to another party, known as the subcontractor, to perform a specific portion of the work or services required by the primary contract. A subcontract might be used to delegate certain tasks, such as specialized research, data analysis, or technical work, to another institution or organization. The subcontractor is responsible for completing their assigned tasks under the terms and conditions set by the primary contract.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UFIRST<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The proposal, agreement, and award management system of the University of Florida. UFIRST is mandatory for the entry and routing of proposals and agreements managed by Sponsored Programs.
