shaping financial health and compliance of an award throughout its lifecycle.
This session offers Pre-Award professionals a Post-Award lens on budgeting,
highlighting how early decisions can either support or hinder long-term
financial integrity. Through real-world examples and practical strategies,
we'll explore common pitfalls such as unallowable costs, effort commitments,
and cost-sharing challenges, and how to proactively address them during
proposal preparation. Attendees will leave with actionable insights to design
budgets that meet sponsor expectations, align with institutional policies, and
withstand Post-Award scrutiny.</span></p>
