Is an itemized budget reflecting different activities needed?
Yes, to the extent that the detail requested in the SF 424A is met. If two faculty members are proposed for support and the institutional maximum match of $100,000 per year is made ($50,000 X 2), can the institutional match be weighted more heavily toward one faculty member than another given that an experimental junior faculty member entails more costs than a computational junior faculty member? No, the funding cannot be weighted toward one versus the other faculty member, since if two are requested and only one is found meritorious by the peer review panel, only up to $50,000 could be awarded even if more than $50,000 was requested for that particular faculty member.
