C) Budget and Budget Narrative Requirements. All FY 2010 DLSGP award

outlined in the SF 424A. This budget narrative should be detailed and should 
serve to: (1) explain how the costs were estimated, and (2) justify the need 
for the costs incurred to the measurable achievement outcomes as stated in 
the work plan. For clarification purposes, the narrative should include tables 
describing cost and expense elements (e.g. equipment list with unit 
costs/quantity). The budget must be complete, reasonable and cost-effective 
in relation to the proposed project.

detail worksheet in Part VIII. This worksheet may be used as a guide to assist 
applicants in the preparation of the budget and budget narrative.
