At ISU, PIs are given credit for the percentage of effort/responsibility
on the project -- at both the submission and award stages -- for our
internal reporting.  (This is done both for numbers and dollars.) This
does make the individual unit totals look "strange" because they may
have factions of awards & submissions.  We have our internal reporting
on-line if you would like to look at it.  The link is
http://reports.rsp.ilstu.edu/

We track everything in a filemaker database.
