I, too, have only served on one study section, and can echo Joni. Budget
issues received only very brief discussion with the issue being whether
is was acceptable or not, and if there were specific issues (was the
sufficient PI effort). Budget does not affect the proposal's scoring.

Bravo, Chuck.  I can second that.  I have only served on one study
section,
but I can tell you that cost sharing did not pass anyone's lips.

Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Cost share

That is an urban myth.  It is the quality of the proposal and the
proposer,
not any cheap-jack price, that results in an award.  You cannot buy an
award, and if it would be funded anyway, why subsidize the project;
there
are better ways to spend your money.  Mandatory cost sharing excepted,
of
course.

Good afternoon-

I have PI's who are using the "if I cost share I have a better chance
of
getting funded" justification for cost share.

Is there any communique from NIH that dispels that idea?

Thx!
