Upload vendor quotes, market research data, or historical cost records for sensor hardware, satellite service providers, and marine insurance premiums. Include CAD drawings or technical specs that substantiate equipment pricing and ruggedization requirements.
Select the primary funding agency or solicitation whose budget rules (e.g., NSF OCE, NOAA Coral Reef Program, NASA PACE) will govern budget categories, cost allowability, and indirect-cost rates for Years 1–5.
Indicate the oceanic zones where sensors will be moored—this determines storm-exposure risk tables, satellite coverage tiers, and marine-insurance coefficient brackets.
Choose the environmental protection level and spare-unit strategy the grant will fund; drives replacement schedule and total hardware budget lines.
Specify how often data will be uplinked and which subscription plan matches that cadence; cost scales with number of daily transmissions.
Insurance premium typically priced as percent-of-total-insured (PTI). Enter the annual PTI % expected for comprehensive marine property insurance including hurricane loss in the chosen latitudes—used to subtotal annual premiums Years 1–5.
Select the format and level of detail the justification must produce—specific formats often required by agency proposals.
List known hot-buttons from the review panel to be explicitly disarmed in the justification—examples include sustainment after grant ends, excess satellite charges, or insurance exclusions for named storms.
Include any special circumstances not covered above—multi-institutional cost share, commitments from sensor vendors, letters of support for satellite resellers, or alternate-use pivots if hurricane season impacts deployment.
