Budget Guidelines

  • Grants must be limited to a reasonable estimate of the cost of the grant-funded activities.
  • Grants may be issued to support only the costs associated with the development, delivery and/or evaluation of the educational program, event, resources, and/or materials.
  • Grants may not solely cover the cost of meals. It is acceptable for a portion of a grant to cover meals/refreshments only if the meals/refreshments are:
    • modest and conducive to discussion amongst faculty and healthcare attendees
    • allow primary focus to remain on the educational portion of the event funded by the grant.
  • Recipients of funding are required to provide a completed program budget reconciliation within 90 days of the program end date and return any unused funds.
