Adrienne,

Thanks for your guidance, that was the key.  Just for everyone's knowledge on this one, it was found at https://www.drugabuse.gov/funding/funding-priorities/nida-funding-strategy/nida-funding-strategy-fiscal-year-2016.

The key here is:

 Competing Awards:

 NIDA may reduce competing awards from the IRG recommended levels in order to increase the number of awards issued.
 1. New and competing awards will be funded at approximately the same average cost as FY 15.
 2. In general renewal grants should not increase by more than 10% over the prior year’s award.

Thanks again to all who replied, I appreciate the time you took to assist us.

Have a great weekend!

Matt

Matt,
I would suggest you go to the awarding institute's page on NIH.gov and search for that institute's funding policy, or sometimes it's called the financial management plan.
