Letter of support example, on the worked example

3.666666666666667

The sheets here work from figures a grant office already knows: how many partners owe you a letter, how many narrative sections the funder asks for, how many hours a week you can actually give the thing, and how far away the deadline is. They turn those into hours and into dates, which is the form the answer has to take, because a grant application is not a budget problem, it is a calendar problem. Every one computes on the page and none needs an account.

Where these sheets touch federal rules they cite the Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR part 200 rather than paraphrasing it: 200.414 sets the de minimis indirect rate at up to 15% of modified total direct costs for a recipient with no negotiated rate, and 200.334 requires award records to be kept for three years from the date the final financial report is submitted. Every other number in the sheets is one you type in, because your partners, your sections and your hours are not ours to guess.
