Unless she wants to have unrestricted use of the equipment, why not apply for a SIG?

Subject: [RESADM-L] NIH Re-budget Question

Good Afternoon,

I have a very successful faculty member who has received considerable NIH funding and funding from some other sources.  A large piece of equipment is breaking down in her lab.  To replace it would be approximately $100,000.  She holds a R01 and is thinking about asking for a re-budget to purchase the equipment.  She is confident it is not a scope change.  The equipment will make her lab more efficient to complete the SOW in the R01 proposal.  I have never made such a large re-budget request to NIH.  Does anyone have any advice to offer?  Does NIH frown on such requests? Is she better off not to even approach NIH with this request?

Thank you!

Sincerely,
