This 3 hour course is designed for Principal Investigators, Staff Scientists, and others involved in scientific programs (Intramural and Extramural) whose work may include budget management. Course content includes an overview of the federal budget process from formulation to execution and review, with an emphasis on how that process operates at NIH. The course includes an overview of budget-related appropriation and authorizing legislation at NIH, and highlights NIH initiatives in the current approved and proposed federal budgets. Participants will learn everyday NIH business terms, be introduced to activities that range from budget planning to fiscal year-end close out, and identify some of the budget-related activities that may directly affect your work at NIH.
