I would really appreciate your response to the question below.  At
the Hutchinson Center, we currently follow option #1, but we're looking at
making a change.  Thanks very much!

 What does your institution do when a PI reallocates budget funds
from a category like equipment, which is excluded from indirect costs, into
a category like supplies, on which indirect costs are earned?
 (1) Leave the total direct costs at the level awarded, even
though you would not be able to recover the full indirect costs earned?  OR
 (2) Move the associated indirect costs in relation to the
direct costs, thus moving within the total costs awarded (rather than just
within total directs?
