Please note: This PowerPoint template is provided for your convenience. If you choose, you may instead utilize existing slides for your ACCD presentation.

2. Project/ Program Objectives
Include concept figure

3. Contribution of the Project/Program to UC Davis
What is the significance of this Project/Program on campus?
Why should the Deans fund this proposal?

4. Significant Activities
This is a good place to highlight any of the Project/Program’s scientific programs as well as any educational/outreach activities; graduate student training opportunities, etc. This lets the Deans know the broad reach of the proposal, how it fits in with existing units and programs, and helps them further see the benefits of the proposal.

5. Organization of Project/Program
Describe the organizational structure.

6. Project/Program Membership
If Indirect Costs are not returning to the campus, this breakdown of involved faculty researchers by school and college will enable the Deans to determine their contributions to your Project/Program.
This should exactly match the budget request spreadsheet that is used as the basis for negotiation among the schools and colleges.

7. Estimated Indirect Costs
Budget Summary
Budget
Year 01
Total Project Period
Total Direct Costs
$X Million
$XX K
Estimated Indirect Costs
Requested Match
Should include:
The total amount of the grant.
The total amount being asked of ACCD and what percentage this is of the overall total.
Whether any other entities are providing matching funds, and whether this reduces the amount being asked of ACCD.
The time period of the grant (number of years) and of the requested cost-share.
A specific breakdown of cost-share funds being asked from each involved school/college/division/department and how these amounts were derived.
Please note: The ACCD funding model is that if Indirect Costs will be returning to campus as a result of this grant, the unit that receives the Indirect Costs will split the cost-share with OR. If there is no ICR, funding may be determined by PI usage.
Also please note: Unless the sponsor requires a greater match, ACCD will match up only to 8% of Direct Costs (minus sub-contracts). If a match is not required, the institutional match provided by ACCD may be lower.
Please provide this breakdown by year and by total over the grant period.
* The table should exactly match the ACCD budget request spreadsheet that is used as the basis for negotiation among the schools and colleges.
