I would be interested to know how other institutions are internally handling
the NIH streamlined noncompeting continuation process.  Do you require your
faculty to submit an itemized budget internally even though it is not required
to be submitted to NIH.  If so, do you do this at the proposal processing stage
or upon receipt of the continuation award. Are you getting any reluctance from
your PIs?

If you don't request an itemized budget how do you handle allocation of the
funds once the award has been received.

Any thoughts welcome.
