Budget System

Overview

Each site director (or delegate) starts every new program year by submitting a requested budget through this online system, and then reenters the system as needed to revise active budgets, which remain available for editing until a full program year has been completed.

At the end of each program year, a final revision of that year's budget data is prepared and submitted through this online system to the NWP national office. The data from the final budget are used for statistical analysis by NWP researchers.

In addition, the budgets and analyses will be reviewed in February as part of NWP's annual peer review of all Continued Funding Applications from sites.

Current Tasks

• Prepare and submit your site's 2009–2010 final budget revision in time for the September 30, 2010 deadline.

  Note: New sites do not submit a final budget revision until they have completed a full program year.

• Prepare and submit your site's 2011–2012 requested budget in time for the January 12, 2011 deadline. Sites may apply for $47,000 in core funding.

Accessing the Budget System

Initially, only NWP site directors are able to access the budget system, but a site director may log in to the system and delegate the preparation and submission of budget data to other people, provided those people have established NWPi profiles with the correct writing project site affiliation.

Note: All budget system delegates are made inactive each year in July. Last year's delegates must be reauthorized by the director in order to get access to the system.
