Grant Runner Detailed and Subaward Budget Personnel Sections

Note: If you connect a SAGE Budget to your Grant Runner application when using the RR Detailed Budget, the system will automatically add periods and data to the RR Detailed Budget form. The form will become read-only, except for the link to add the Budget Justification attachment. In addition, a link to the Sponsor Budget Map page will appear on the left navigation menu. The Sponsor Budget Map shows how your SAGE Budget data flows into the RR Detailed Budget form.

The information on this page covers an application without a connected SAGE Budget.

Section A: Senior/Key Persons

In this section, you need to include all of the senior or key research personnel.

Select Add New Key Person to add a row to the section. Complete the following fields.

Once you add the name information, the page will shift to displaying the name followed by “(edit)”.  Click on the name to make any necessary changes.

Project Role Use the text box to enter the appropriate role for each person entered.

Note: For the Detailed Budget, you must add at least one person with the specific role of “PD/PI” in each budget period. The first person you list with that role must match the PI listed on the SF 424 form. If the PI for the eGC1 is different than the PI for the Grant Runner application, use the Application PI role type on the eGC1 PI, Personnel, & Organizations page. The first PD/PI you list must then match the Application PI’s information. The match is based on first and last name only.

Commonly used roles are:

  • PD/PI
  • Co-PD/PI
  • Faculty
  • Post Doctoral
  • Post Doctoral Associate
  • Post Doctoral Scholar
  • Graduate Student
  • Undergraduate Student
  • Other Professional
  • Technician
  • Consultant
  • Co-Investigator
Base Salary Enter the base salary for each person listed. This field is not required.
Calendar, Academic, and Summer Months Use these columns to indicate the amount of time each person will be working on the project for this budget period. Some amount of effort is required. Enter either the number of calendar months or a combination of academic and summer months.

For example, the first three rows below have valid entries. The last one is not valid, as indicated by the red outline, because there are values in all three columns.

Requested Salary, Fringe Benefits Enter the amount of salary and any fringe benefits requested for each person listed. These are required fields, but the value may be zero.
Funds Requested This final column is automatically calculated and is the sum of the Requested Salary and Fringe Benefits values. The field is displayed as read-only.
Delete Link A Delete link displays at the far right of the table for each person listed. Use this link to completely remove the data for that person. You will be prompted to confirm the deletion.

Once you have added 8 key personnel, the Add New Key Person button can no longer be selected and the message “Maximum allowable by the Sponsor has been reached” will display. A link to add an attachment for any additional personnel will appear, as shown in the following image.
