Frequently Asked Questions
Funding for Innovation Grant projects will be Fund 150 with expenditures limited to the RFP scope of work. Any personnel costs budgeted should include estimated fringe. There are no additional funds allocated for fringe independently of the award amount. A Fund 150 budget will be transferred to your established account by budget category. A corresponding IUJ will also be processed to move the 150 cash to your institution. Fund 150 cash should carry over across fiscal years automatically. This can be used to develop the proposal budget.
