I count it based on how the award is given.  If the award is for three years and
 the full amount is funded up front then I count it in the year it was granted -
 and only in that year.  If the award is a three year grant but only the first
 year is funded and the next two are based on continuation funding and future
 congressional action (or some such) then it is counted each year in which the
 funding continues - for the amount in that year.  Of course, we are small
 enough as yet that the CAS Disclosure Statement does not apply so I have not
 worried a great deal about this.
