Could the requested Modular Grant budget be reduced by the Scientific Review Group (SRG) and/or by the awarding institute?
Yes, the SRG may adjust the requested budgets. Any overall adjustments by the SRG must be made in modules. In addition, the reviewers may recommend specific budgetary changes that are described in the summary statement, but cannot be reflected in a modular reduction. In these cases, Institute staff will obtain the necessary cost information prior to any award. Also, the awarding institute may adjust the amount to be awarded based on identified overlap and/or a requirement to meet its current management objectives. Adjustments by the awarding institute need not be in modules.
