Abstract: The Detailed Budget Justification is an excel generated project specific budget estimation tool that provides budget data in a clear and concise manner that can be easily reviewed for allowability, allocability, and reasonableness. It also includes a comment section, to clarify each of the budget line items. Other available budget forms do not include a comment section, so additional clarification is required from applicants when those forms are used.
