I'm going to push the PI's to CLOSELY approach the target module goal, and
assume any loss of potential F&A is not material.
Definition: "Not material" -- it ain't worth the trouble and worry.
The faculty member is going to spend it differently, anyway.
Check out my worksheet and see how easy it is to budget VERY closely to the
modules. Look at
http://views.vcu.edu/views/ospa/budgetsheet.html
If it will work for you, I'll give you the key to change the
institution-specific rates so you can put in your own and use the spreadsheet.
