Bob,
Each group gets the same benefits.  The fringe benefit composite rate based
on the relation to salary.  For example, if there are 6 people coded as
researchers (post docs who need assistance)with a total annual salary of
$255,000 the benefit rate per individual would be less than the 8 people
coded Acad. Researchers (post docs who can work independently) with a total
annual salary of $249,000.
Is this as clear as mud?
