19 III. DETAILED BUDGET All applicants must provide budget detail worksheets that include project milestones for the funds requested at the time of application. The detailed budget must be complete, reasonable, and cost-effective in relation to the proposed project and should provide the basis of computation of all project-related costs (including management and administrative costs) and any appropriate narrative. Review panels must be able to thoroughly evaluate the projects being submitted based on the information provided. Consequently, applicants must provide an appropriate level of detail within the budget detail worksheets to clarify what will be purchased and spent. These worksheets may be used as a guide to assist applicants in the preparation of budgets and budget narratives. Applications that do not include a detailed budget narrative will not be considered for funding. Detailed budgets often assist reviewers in determining what type of equipment or service is being purchased,which may assist in determining the effectiveness of a project. Additionally, a detailed budget must demonstrate the required cost share, either cash(hard) or third-party in-kind(soft), of the recipient based on the projected project cost. Applications failing to demonstrate the required cost share will not be considered for funding. Cash and third-party in-kind matches must consist of eligible costs (i.e., same allowability as the federal share) and must be identified as part of the submitted budget detail worksheet. A cash(hard) match includes cash spent for project-related costs while a third-party in-kind (soft) match includes the valuation of in-kind services. The cost match requirement for a PSGP award may not be met by funds from another federal grant or assistance program or funds used to meet matching requirements for another federal grant program. Likewise, third- party in-kind matches used to meet the matching requirement for the PSGP award may not be used to meet matching requirements for any other federal grant program. Please see"Cost Share" in section C of this NOFO, also reference 2 C.F.R. § 200.306, as applicable, for further guidance regarding cost matching. Applicants must use the following file naming convention when submitting their budget detail worksheets as part of the FY 2021 PSGP: Name of Applicant Name of Project Budget Number(Example:XYZ Oil Fencing Budget#1) IV.
