SUPPLIES AND EXPENSES
Identify and list major supplies and other expenses by item and amount requested for each. NOTE: Because the endowment is intended primarily to support people and projects, capital equipment requests will only be considered if the equipment proposed is essential to the completion of the project. If you propose any capital equipment (items costing $5,000 or more), please justify how the equipment is essential for the success of the project.
MATCHING FUNDS
Please identify matching funds or projected program revenue, if appropriate, both in the budget explanation/justification and at the bottom of the budget-request form. No extramural transmittal support form is required for the Baldwin-Reilly proposal process. For program revenue operations, please describe the nature of the program-revenue structure (fund 136, 128, 132, etc.). If the project includes collaboration involving federal funding, include the name of the federal sponsor, project title, and UW federal account number in your budget explanation. Do not include program revenue amounts or matching funds in the budget request detail above the lines provided for reporting those amounts. The budget request detail should include only dollars requested as part of the application submission.
ANNUAL BUDGET SUBMISSIONS
Projects lasting more than one year will be required to submit an annual progress report and budget request. Year two and three funds will be transferred based on progress toward meeting project goals.
TRANSMITTAL OF AWARDS
Approved projects will receive funding from the Ira and Ienva Reilly Baldwin Wisconsin Idea Endowment. Awards will be transmitted to the applicant’s department/unit. It will be necessary to segregate the award in a 133 account designated for the approved project. All expenditures must adhere to university and state policies and procedures.
