Julie,
Thanks for your thoughtful response, but I was perhaps not clear enough in my original posting. We are NOT trying to use federal funds to pay for previously incurred expenses.
To clarify: I work full time for an agency as a grant proposal writer. My salary is included in our administrative/support costs. We budget a small portion of my time per grant (maybe twenty hours per year per grant) to handle reporting. But we never book my time to write renewal proposals as an expense for our current federal grants.
For example, we have multi-year, multi-million dollar federal grants for behavioral health care services. We would put some of my time in each year's budget for grant reporting and other management tasks, but we would not include my time to write the renewal of the grant into the grant budget. In year one, we would not expense my time to write the year 2 proposal against the year 1 funds.
In my original post, I was asking if anyone knows the source of the rule that prohibits this use of federal funds for writing the next year's federal grant.
Thanks
sue
