Available Directs Balance: Equals the grant/contract direct cost budget estimated at the time of the grant award minus actual direct expenses. Does not include indirect budget or expenses. This will be different than the Balance amount if an award has both a direct and indirect budget. WISER can show the calculation details to support this amount.
Budget: Equals total budget loaded into Wiser for grants. The timing a budget is loaded is when the grant award notification is received by the Research and Programs Office. The amount may be different to the total expected award due to timing differences and contingencies that need to be met (IRB approval, etc.).
Budgets for fund 136 and 150 projects include beginning fund balance, current revenue, and sales credits.
Budgets for fund 233 projects include revenue and sales credits.
Budget Directs: Equals the Transaction Amount for Accounts beginning with the letter Z except ZFA and ZOVRHD where it appears as 0. It appears negative in the following scenarios: revenue in funds 136, 161, 233, fund balance in funds 136, 161, and revenue or fund balance in fund 150. It appears as 0 for fund balances in fund 233, budgets in funds 150, 233, and all other scenarios.
Calculated Balance Using F&A Rate: Equals the Balance divided by 1 plus the F&A Rate. This number may not reflect specific terms and conditions of the award.
