A clarification - the form works if you do not need to use a MTDC to calculate your idc's and overall budget. But if you propose any item exempt from your total direct cost base for idc calculation - can't use the form in the application. HUD is aware of the issue - they said they have received several calls and are trying to fix the problem but it won't be fixed by Wednesday when we have to submit our proposal. -----Original Message----- From: Research Administration List [mailto:xxxxxx@HRINET.ORG]On Behalf Of Diane Schmitz Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 6:12 PM To: xxxxxx@HRINET.ORG Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Grants.gov - latest glitches Yikes. Now we're trying to fax a required form, but can't find the fax number anywhere. Does anyone have one?
