Hello,

This may be a stupid question, but I thought that the rate awarded
for any given competitive remained as such for the life of the
competitive segment.  We've been receiving NOGAs from NIH with split
rates...awarding a portion of the new funds at our current rate and
then awarding (at a prorated MTDC) our new higher rate for funds
after the effective period of the new rate (July 1, 2008).  Is anyone
else experiencing this?  If A-21 prescribes that awards are made
according to the F&A rate in effect at the time of the award, I can't
understand why these awards aren't being made using the old rate and
why we are seeing two rates.  Don't get me wrong the additional
revenue (after July 1, 2008) is welcome, but I'm just not following
the logic here.

Can someone enlighten me please?

Many thanks,

All the best,
