The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Create a grant budget and narrative for [PROJECT_NAME]. Total request: [TOTAL_REQUEST]. Project period: [PROJECT_PERIOD]. Cost data I have: [COST_DATA] (such as salaries, quotes, rates). Funder rules on indirect costs and allowed expenses: [FUNDER_RULES]. Produce: 1. A budget table with columns: Category (personnel, fringe, consultants, supplies, equipment, travel, other, indirect), Line item, Calculation (quantity times rate, FTE percent), Amount requested, Other funding (in-kind, match), and Notes. 2. A narrative: one short paragraph per category explaining why each cost is needed and how the amount was calculated, in plain language, in the order of the table. 3. A check that totals add up and that no cost appears twice; show the arithmetic. 4. A risk review: costs the funder may question or disallow, and how to justify or revise them. 5. A sustainability note (what happens after the grant). Use only my figures; mark gaps with [ADD COST]. Do not make up salary levels or rates. Ask whether other sources cover any of these costs.
