Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a budget request and a budget justification?

A budget request is the formal ask for funding, while the justification provides the detailed rationale and supporting data. This form combines both into a single document that can be used as a draft for either purpose.

Can I use this for classified programs?

This tool is for unclassified budget requests. For classified programs, you must follow your agency's specific procedures and use approved secure systems.

How do I align my request with the National Security Strategy?

The form prompts you to explicitly state how your program supports national security objectives. Use language from the latest National Security Strategy and your agency's strategic plan to strengthen your justification.
