Please provide more information about the requirement to limit intervention costs to 25% of the grant award. What do you mean by “start-up” and “delivery” costs?
The distinction is between the grant funds used for the costs of intervention delivery (a maximum of 25%) and the costs of evaluating the intervention (a minimum of 75%). It may be helpful to think of the 25% limit as pertaining solely to costs of delivering the intervention proposed for evaluation, regardless of when those costs are incurred during the project timeline (e.g., project planning phase, data collection phase or analysis phase). Grantees are encouraged to utilize other sources of funding for the bulk of intervention costs to supplement the 25% allowable funds from RWJF.
