We're also struggling with this issue.  The latest info I have from NIH
regarding NRSA stipends states that it's "unallowable for institutions to seek
funds for or to charge individual fellowship awards for costs that would
normally be associated with employee benefits (for example, FICA, workman's
compensation, and unemployment insurance)."  Has this changed?  Does anyone
have a ruling from the IRS on this issue?

Thanks for your wisdom.
