This is a good example because it:
- Supports the statements made in the Abstract/Project Description, Narration/Project Summary and Work Plan. It is important that each of these sections of the grant application support the other to make a compelling case for why the project should be considered for funding
- Accurately reflects the final costs to complete the proposed project by documenting the overall cost of the project versus the funds being requested (note the total project cost $592,000 versus the funds being requested $125,000)
- Does not bundle items into a single or limited number of items, but breaks out the various project elements detailed in the Narrative/Project Summary and Work Plan sections of the application necessary to accomplish the project
- Costs are reasonable and are proportionate to the work to be accomplished
- Exhibits significant leveraging of funding on the part of the project applicant
