The following are the results of the informal survey on rates that were used
in the recent preliminary application process.

38 Institutions responded who submitted a total of 170 proposals.

 149 (88%) proposals were submitted at the 8 % rate
 1  ( 1%) proposal was submitted in the 9-15% range
 9  ( 5%) proposals were submitted in the 16-25% range
 5  ( 3%) proposals were submitted in the 26-35% range
 3  ( 2%) proposals were submitted in the 36 +% range

 One organization has reported receiving a FIPSE award at 15% in the
recent past.

Looks like we have been soundly brow beaten into submission.
