I echo Elsa's concerns and add that it also becomes something that must be monitored and updated - ideally continuously, but probably more often than annually.     Unless you have adequate staffing, that seems like a major drawback.

We create links to the actual program details on our website, and fortunately the website has its own automated "check for broken links" system so that web managers get a weekly list of broken links.  That's a compromise but doesn't involve much work.

I personally don't think that is such a good idea. The minute you have a "generic" list of requirements and a specific program wants something else, you are going to have faculty say, "But your instructions didn't say that."

Subject: [RESADM-L] "Fact Sheets" - individual agencies

Our office has been trying (for some time) to find the time to create "fact sheets" on the varying agencies from which we receive funding.
Something that is agency specific (NSF, NIH, US DEPT ED, Justice, etc) and provides 'generic' level details regarding submission requirements,
cost allowability (or unallowability).    Would anyone have any they
would be willing to share?

Thanks,
Tracy Eisenhower
