...Angeles, is world-renowned for research and education in many fields. The campus is located in Westwood area of Los Angeles, and was founded in 1919, and currently has about 40,000 students, 26,000 administrative staff and 4,000 faculty (UCLA, n.d.). The Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior is an organization that researches a number of psychiatric and behavioral topics. The researchers come from all across the globe to work at UCLA and publish papers into prestigious journals, which hopefully might change the way diagnoses are made and treatments provided. Researchers also need to hire assistants and volunteers to help with the workload and get a project initiated and running, and eventually finished to analyze results. In addition to hiring assistants, researchers also need to hire employees that will fill out grant paperwork, handle finances and purchases, and set-up meetings as needed. If the researcher has many projects going on at the same time, this could be very stressful for the most capable employee, and could lead decrease in motivation and productivity, eventually leading to either leaving the job or getting fired. California is currently in a budget crisis, and public schools are getting less and less money from the state government to hire more employees. The employees that are present must be able to be as productive as two or three employees put together and have quality results. My role in this is a volunteer for a research project for 3 months.

...Overview of Organization The organization that I am proposing for the basis of my research paper is Brownstone Day School. Brownstone is a for profit organization that has been in business and family owned in Lakewood, Ohio since 1989. We are a full time daycare center that accepts age range of infant, toddler, preschool and school age. Brownstone participates in two different programs that include the subsidized child care program which is sponsored through Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and Child & Adult Food Care Program. When the director changed in 2010 after replacing the original director of 20 years management took a different turn. Employees that remained on with new director organization and morale decreased. Brownstone no longer felt like a “family” run business even though it was the 2nd generation of the Rafferty family that had taken over. With the change of directors many teachers began to resign and the turn over rate of new teachers reached record numbers. Brownstone is always looking for teachers with any form of a degree to be in compliance with the state. They don't offer a benefits package, 401k plan, sick time and aren't willing to offer a negotiable salary. Brownstone was a top daycare in it's prime but currently struggles to keep in stride with newer and more up to date facilities. I am an infant/toddler teacher and administrative assistant. I started at Tots R Us in October of 2010. I joined Tots R Usat the same time the new director...

...INTRODUCTION The budget is the financial expression of the project and should accurately reflect the costs of the proposed research/education/service program. The budget justification provides the sponsor agency and reviewers of the application with information such as why costs are programmatically necessary and how they are calculatced. Reviewers will analyze the financial data to determine if the proposed costs are allocable to the program, allowable under federal cost principles or non-federal sponsor guidelines (whichever is applicable), reasonable and treated consistently by the institution and similar organizations. When the University receives an award, the approved budget items become part of the agreement between the University and the sponsor. Only those costs that are included in the budget or re-budgeted costs allowed by the sponsor should be directly charged to the award. If the cost requires prior institutional and/or sponsor approval after the award is made, the approval must be secured before the cost is incurred. Therefore, it is important to develop a budget that will enable the PI to fulfill all of the programmatic requirements of the project. A budget and budget justification must be provided for: • Proposed direct costs • Proposed cost share • Estimated program income, including projected revenue and expenditures • Facilities and Administration (F&A or Indirect Costs) FUNDING SOURCES One of the first steps in developing a budget is...
