A yellow banner appears on ERA Funding Proposal (FP) sites when an Industry sponsor is listed as the Direct Sponsor. In the future, the ERA Team hopes to have an Industry Cost Summary tab in ERA Proposals to present the project budget as a fully-burdened quote*. In the meantime, Industry Cost Summary Budget (Sample Formats) have been added to the Forms & Templates page on the researchadmin website to assist with preparation of fully-burdened budgets for Industry-funded research proposals.
The sample formats include a few separate budget tables, each with a different level of detail. These format options should cover needs for most of ASU’s industry proposals. Users will be able to copy the preferred version of the table and paste it into Word or Excel for transmission to the Industry sponsor.
As a reminder, letters and emails from For-Profit Sponsors (i.e., Industry) will not be accepted as documentation of a sponsor restriction on Facilities & Administrative (F&A) costs.
* A fully-burdened quote is one that includes both direct and indirect costs summed together into one line, rather than breaking out direct and indirect cost details.
