In this instructional YouTube video, Stacy L. Chin warns grant‑seeking founders about a common budgeting error: rushing the budget after the research narrative is written. She explains how this habit produces unrealistic salary figures, omitted cost items, and budgets that do not line up with the proposed science. These mismatches trigger reviewer questions that could have been avoided with a more deliberate budgeting process. The video outlines the symptoms of a rushed budget and sets the stage for practical tips on aligning financial plans with research goals.
