Amount of money requested for OPE (other payroll expenses, e.g. employer contributions to benefits, etc)
You must check with your business office or grants office before answering this question. Some colleges are willing to cover costs, in which case you should enter 0. If you enter 0 and your college does not cover your OPE costs, a significant portion of your grant award will go towards employer contributions and overhead.
