This citation in the guide, I believe, is the original, authoritative source
for 3%.  I don't know of any changes since then.

Subject: Re: NIH Annual Raise Citation

I was under the same assumption.  In fact, the NIH Guide, Volume 26, Number
14, dated May 2, 1997, under Fiscal Year 1997 Funding Strategies, states
that no more than a 3% increase should be used.  The 4% rate would only be
used to calculate future year direct costs for grants awarded prior to FY
97.

Has there been a change that I am not aware of?
