Budget System

Overview

The budget system is available to NWP sites for financial planning purposes each program year. When grant opportunities are made available to sites, the budget system is used for submitting a requested budget for the proposal. If the grant is funded, the budget remains active for the year, and the site director (or delegate) may reenter the system as needed to keep the budget up to date.

Once the program year has been completed, a final revision of the grant's budget data is prepared and submitted through this online system to the NWP national office.

Current Task

While there is no core federal grant funding available to sites for 2012–2013, a core budget page (with no NWP grant attached) is available for financial planning purposes to all NWP sites.

Accessing the Budget System

Initially, only NWP site directors and principal investigators (PIs) are able to access the budget system. The site director or PI must log in to the system to assign delegates. Only those who have established NWPi profiles with the correct Writing Project site affiliation can be assigned as delegates. 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.
