The January 15 issue of Grants Administration News carries an item
that I
would like to verify, if anyone knows anything about it.  The item
reads
as follows:

 "NIH has changed the definition of significant planned
rebudgeting
 of project funds which grantees must report.  Rebudgeting now
refers
 to a one-time single action that would amount to 25% of the total
 amount awarded or $250,00 [if that is a typo it is NOT mine],
 whichever is less.  NIH previously required researchers to total
 accumulated changes."

Can anyone verify that this is correct?  If so, where was this change
published - I cannot believe that we missed it.

See the PHS Grants Policy Statement (April 1, 1994), NIH Guide,
Volume 23, Number 45, December 23, 1994, and NIH Guide, Volume
24, Number 2, January 20, 1995.

The correct figure is 250,000.
