RE>NIH 3% vs 4% yearly increases             5/20/97

I've seen awards come in where NIH has reduced the budget to a 3% increase along
with a statement indicating that 3% is the new policy.  We nonetheless have sent
proposals in with budgets increasing at 4%.

Hi-
Has anyone seen anything official concerning the strong suggestions
by NIH that yearly budget increases over the course of a grant be
limited to 3% ?  Apparently, they are still accepting applications
with 4% increases but a recent announcement of "funding strategies"
has finally mentioned the change to 3%.  Still, I am expecting
something more formal and firm.
Comments?
