Full time Graduate Research Assistants at our institution typically
devote 20 hours a week to research projects.  When we submit NIH
applications, we therefore display their effort as 50% and explain that
a typical full-time GRA devotes 20 hrs/week to the research project.

1.  how do your institutions display typical graduate student % effort
in the Modular Budget Format Page of NIH applications?

2.  do your institutions have any rules regarding the amount of time a
GRA might devote to research?  A faculty member here maintains that at
other graduate schools, GRAs who have completed most of their coursework
will devote essentially 100% of their time to a research project.  In
such cases, how would your institution display the GRA's effort in a
Modular Budget Format Page?

Thanks for your reponses.
