Introduction

You will develop your budget and budget narrative in the RWJF Grantmaking Online (GO) system. 

You must use these supplemental budget instructions as you prepare your budget for NJHI 2008.  These supplemental instructions are specific to NJHI and are in addition to the standard RWJF budget preparation guidelines.  The RWJF budget preparation guidelines can be viewed within the Grantmaking Online system by clicking on the link which appears in Step 1 on the "Budget Worksheet" screen.

While your project Year 1 may include some start-up time, it will also be the period when you will invest in staff training and acquisition of materials.  Funds do not need to be expended evenly over the three years of the project.

You must budget for the program implementation, including:

• the acquisition of the “Safe Dates” curriculum; 
• Year 1 training for all staff who will deliver the curriculum, to ensure fidelity to the program;
• supplemental training in Years 2 and 3, for new staff or as a refresher for previously trained staff;
• provision of materials for students and families;
• staff support for data collection and program assessment.

Travel

“Safe Dates” Trainings- You must budget funds for travel to the “Safe Dates” trainings.  The trainings will be held at a location that is mid-state (e.g., Princeton, NJ).   Funds should also be budgeted for travel for one refresher training session in both Years 2 and 3 for each individual who will deliver the curriculum.  Use your organization’s mileage reimbursement rate for travel to the trainings.

Annual Grantee Meeting- Each year there is an annual NJHI grantee meeting in New Jersey that you will be required to attend.  Funds must be budgeted for up to two staff to attend the annual grantee meeting.  This is a two day meeting held in a mid-state location (e.g. Princeton, NJ).  Budget for lodging ($175 per person per night), meals ($75 per person per day), and ground transportation, including mileage ($100).  Use your organization’s mileage reimbursement rate for travel to the annual grantee meeting. You may choose to budget an additional $250 per person for an additional overnight stay, based on the distance you will travel to the meeting.

“Safe Dates” Curriculum Purchase- You must budget for the cost of purchasing the “Safe Dates” curriculum.  For this NJHI program, the cost is $170 per individual who will deliver the curriculum. 

Training Costs- You must include the cost of training on the “Safe Dates” curriculum in this line item.  Budget $200 per person for each individual who will deliver the curriculum.  You may want to include other staff who will not actually be delivering the “Safe Dates” curriculum.  For example, this could be someone who is a program coordinator or involved in management within your organization.  The training session will be one full day, and the NJHI Program Office will assist you in the scheduling.  Training will be provided by Hazelden.  Funds should also be budgeted for one refresher training session in both Years 2 and 3 for each individual who will deliver the curriculum.

Student & Family Materials Costs- You must budget for the cost of preparing materials for students participating in the Safe Dates program. Following is an estimate of costs for copying and packaging materials for students and parents from the Safe Dates curriculum. These numbers are based on a class size of 30 students and a cost of $0.07 per copy. These numbers are just an estimate and your costs may vary based on your organization and proposed project design.

Photocopies - students -                    $92.40 (based on 44 originals)

Photocopies - parents/guardians -  $  9.45  (based on 3 originals)

Binders - students -                            $45
