Pat,
This is part of the Biographical Sketch, which you would only submit with a
2590 if there were new key personnel.  The Research Support section is not
the same as Other Support.  Other Support is now a "Just in Time"
submission, which means that it is asked for after the peer review process,
if the grant is likely to be funded.  The reviewers now never see the Other
Support section.  The Research Support section's function is to describe
the effort of the personnel on any funded projects they have worked on over
the past three years, in order to demonstrate to the reviewers that the
personnel proposed to do the work actually have the expertise to carry out
the project.  If you would like further clarification, please give me a
call and we'll chat.
Joni.
