“SPEAR” WORKSHOP OCTOBER 19 & 30, 2015 PRESENTED BY ALISABET VALDES EMILY NERONA Rebudgeting

Definition of Rebudgeting The budget plan is the financial expression of the project or program as approved during the award process. After a grant or contract has been awarded, the PI may determine that the approved budget allocations are not consistent with actual project needs. S/he may request the formal reallocation of funds from one spending category, or object code, to another object code category that better reflects the project requirements. This process is called Rebudgeting. Rebudgeting may have an effect on Facilities and Administrative (F & A)Costs
