HE530 Purdue University Global Budget by Call for Proposals Review During a discussion with your library manager, she tells you about a Call for Proposals

HE530 Purdue University Global Budget by Call for Proposals Review During a discussion with your library manager, she tells you about a Call for Proposals for grants that could help pay for the things you need for a new information literacy course requirement for your institution. You ask her to meet with the other librarians and any other key staff and put together a list of things that could go into the grant. You tell her that if she will draft a proposal and budget, you will review it and give her some feedback.

About a week later, she brings you a draft budget. It looks to you like she included all the important elements, but you want to make sure the budget meets the funding agency’s guidelines, so you download the Call for Proposals from the funding agency’s website and review the budget while considering these guidelines. She comments to you that she has a lot of questions about grants and grant budgets, so you tell her you will review the grant documents and assist her with understanding.
