Marie:  In my experience the PI does keep the first position, but all other
names after that are alphabetized (still a frustrating thing, and I hope
FL can find a way to change it; it really upsets PIs to see it).

In entering budgets on FASTLANE it came to my attention that the names of
the PI and CoPIs were being automatically alphabetized and there was no way
to determine who the PI was when looking at the budget.  This concerned me
since Appendix F - states "If more than one senior personnel is listed (on
the budget), the first one listed has primary responsibility for the
project...."

I have talked to the policy department at NSF and they were unaware of the
change and are asking the FASTLANE technicians to fix the budgets so that
the PI's name appears first.
