Hi All,

 

Just FYI year 2 in both FY25 and FY26 F&A is wrong. It says 50% for base 1.  I just changed it in the budgets I was working on, but I wanted to bring it to your attention.  It may have already been brought up.  I don’t remember.

 

Thanks

Hi Liz,

 

In order to be able to post files online to our website, files must pass accessibility checks to be compliant with new ADA requirements. This required a lot of the merged cells to be unmerged.

 

Thanks,

Justin

Hi Justin,

 

I haven’t had a chance to look at this much this week, but Shannon was able to look through the spreadsheet and noted the items below. 

 

If the only thing changed was the F&A, can we possibly use the template from this year and change the F&A.  There were just a lot of minor glitches with the new one.

 

Good Afternoon Elizabeth,  

 


Also, in working on getting a budget gathered I also noticed that there are some formatting issues in the new templates –

  1. Project Title – is not merged into one cell so that the whole title fits properly
  2. Name – is not merged into one cell
  3. Line 76 – is not merged into one cell (“Other – Please Specify”)
  4. Lines 84 through 86 after Equipment Item 1, 2 or 3 – is not merged into one cell (in order to have the description flow properly)
  5. Lines 88 through 91 participant section – lines are not merged (in order to provide descriptions for use)
  6. Lines 93 through 97 Other Costs (F&A Excluded) – lines are not merged (in order to provide descriptions if necessary)

 

These are the ones that I have found at this point.

Hello everyone,

 

Correction to the email below, it looks like excel is case sensitive when locking worksheets. The password is ut5a1604.

 

Please reply to this email if you have any issues to keep everyone in the loop.

 

Thanks,
Justin

Hello everyone,

 

We have received the new F&A rate agreement for UTSA which can be found here. As a result of the new F&A rates and changes to the MTDC base, we have updated the internal UTSA Budget Template.

 

The new budget template must be used on all proposals being submitted on Monday, December 9th or after. You can find the new budget template under the Proposal Packaging section on the OSP website. Because of the changes in the MTDC base occurring in FY26, please use the correct budget template as defined below.

 

For proposals with a FY25 start date – use the FY25 budget template

For proposals with a FY26 start date – use the FY26 budget template

 

Please reach out to your respective team lead if you have any questions.


Thanks,
