As I wasn't able to attend NCURA this year, I wondered if the NSF sessions may have provided any guidance on salary request levels for faculty.  More specifically, recently we had been instructed by a NSF program officer not to request more than one-month of funding support for a PI on a grant as the reviews would be negative if we requested more, budgets were tight, and because the they had not funded anyone in this competition who had requested more than a month of support in the previous year.  We're getting ready to submit a proposal to a different directorate and I'm wondering if others have heard anything like this.

Any insights will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Nancy
