After the next big NIH deadline on February 1, the new era of modular grants
is upon us.  I'm wondering if any of you have given thought to how you are
going to handle these, particularly at the proposal end.  Will you required
detailed budgets or not?  Are you planning on having any special faculty
awareness programs regarding the modular grants?  Are you planning on
putting any special procedures into effect for modular grants?  Or, do you
just want to get through February 1 and think about modular grants later
(aka the Scarlett O'hara syndrome, of which I am chronically afflected...)?

Admittedly, the NIH Guide announcement was fairly recent, but I was just
curious if any of you had given this much thought yet.

Hoping all of you in the cold country are staying warm...
