Budget management case 4:Budget for a grant application
You are a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the major hospital situated in the capital city of your country. The Fogarty International Center of the US National Institutes of Health announces a new grant program to train nurse midwives in SubSaharan Africa. The application must be submitted by an established African institution, and offers a maximum of US $500,000 per year for up to 5 years. You have long been concerned about reducing maternal mortality in your country and convinced that this could be best accomplished by training nurses as midwives, so you are enthusiastic about this opportunity. You gather together a team of physicians, nurses, public health experts, and plan to submit an application. For a meeting of this team, you have been asked to draft a proposed budget for the application together with a justification of each component. Using the form pages that follow, prepare a budget and justification.
