X. Budget Preparation

A. Purpose
Research conducted at the NYUCD must be self sustaining. Therefore, budgetary preparation is a central tenet of the design of the investigation. Budgets must include the following items, and are described in detail in Budget Preparation (Appendix 16) www.nyu.edu/dental/research/forms/index.html:

• Investigators and staff salary and benefits
• Travel expenses
• Consultant fees
• Supplies
• Biostatistical support
• IRB preparation fees
• Clinical operations costs
• Indirect costs
• Other expenses

B. Process
Principal Investigators must prepare a budget concurrently with the research protocol. The comprehensive budget, Budget Template (Appendix 17) www.nyu.edu/dental/research/forms/index.html must be used with the assistance of Rene Lopez (998-9892; rene.lopez@nyu.edu). Once the form has been approved by Rene Lopez, it is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator to obtain the signature of the Department Chair or the Division Chief as part of the routing of the final protocol submission. It will be the responsibility of the Office of Research to obtain signatures from the Dean of Research and the NYUCD Budget Office.
