Prepare the budget showing what you intend to do if the proposal is successful. In most cases, changes to budgets require agency approval and may make the administration of an award more cumbersome.
When preparing the budget, try to use category names that correspond to the UCB chart of accounts. These categories will roll-up to the accounts reflected on the invoice to the funding agency and should make payment of invoices run more
smoothly.
