I have been out of town for the past two weeks, but I have not seen any
feedback regarding SNAP and POSTDOCS.  I also am interested in how other
institutions are handling the key personnel questions below.  I have been
advising my faculty to stop listing them as key personnel and only list
faculty as key.  I can make a case either way  - for listing them or not
listing them -  in the definitions in the 398 package.  I prefer to not list
them, because it's simpler.   I'd like to know what others are doing.

 I would like feedback on how institutions are handling
 postdocs in relationship to the Streamlined Noncompeting
 Award Process.

 I would venture to say that most postdocs are named as key
 personnel in applications.  At the same time, postdocs tend
 to come and go.  Are you submitting budgets &
 justifications... new biosketches... every time you replace
 a postdoc or a postdoc reduces effort by 25% or more.
