UW System to Administer Grants Electronically (SAGE)
SAGE Budget enables you to create accurate, detailed budgets for your grant and contract proposals. An easy-to-use wizard expedites budget set-up; the comprehensive budget worksheet minimizes errors and improves data quality. SAGE Budget automatically populates your budget with real-time salary and benefits information, calculates budget totals for each period, and identifies the correct facilities and administration (F&A) rate.

For more information, see SAGE User Guides.

TRAC will do the following:

• provide an Excel budget template upon request
• review and refine SAGE budgets before forwarding them to the research sponsor
• work with principal investigators, sponsors, and OSP to submit eGC1s and budgets as quickly and accurately as possible.
