Guidelines for determining what the matching share may consist of are specified in Appendix 2. Sections D and E are to be used to indicate forecasted cash needs. Only those amounts anticipated to be disbursed during each time period should be shown. Section F is to be submitted as an attachment on separate sheets of paper and should include a separate breakdown of costs by the specific activities and work elements of the study described in the application work program outlined in Section IV. This breakdown should be developed on a man-hour and cost per man-hour basis, taking into account categories of employment to be utilized in each activity or element of study. Force account work which will be accomplished under third -party contracts between the sponsor and consultants should be listed separately.
