  • 1.  Help with Dept of Energy SF424A Non-Construction Programs Budget Form

    Posted 07-19-2023 18:13

    Dear Cayuse Community,

    This year, the Dept. of Energy released a different version of their SF424A budget for non-construction programs and I am having some challenges completing it.

    First of all, I am not sure why I cannot delete my data from Cayuse424 as it is grayed (see below).  I was playing around with it and I was able to delete it at first but then it stopped, maybe a system glitch---I will retry tomorrow morning.  Anyhow, if anyone has any recommendations, please let me know how to reset this page if it still won't work tomorrow :)

    Most importantly, I would like to know how I would go about completing this form if there are multiple budget years.  Most of the examples that I was able to find online pertain only to one budget year.  I am unsure how to go about this and which section(s) are required if only requesting federal funds with no cost-sharing/matching.  Any guidance/feedback is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you,

    Linda

    Linda,

    I can't help with the technical part on deleting the information, but wanted to provide a couple of thoughts on the question about how to fill out the form for multi-year budgets. If you haven't already looked for general DOE guidance on this, I would definitely start there.  If there is a program announcement, they may also address it there. 

    Not all agencies use the forms in the same way, but there are basic instructions for SF424A that may help:

    Hi, Linda--

    That looks like the standard SF424A to me (though I admit I only scanned the preview, I didn't try to open the full image). If that's the case, then it's fairly straightforward. Sections A and B refer only to the first year of the project. The out years go in Section E (as future periods - future period 1 is year 2, period 2 is year 3, and so on).
