Is there any flexibility in the travel budget line? How many people should attend the Steering Committee meetings?
Applicants should budget for at least 4 meetings in Bethesda each year for at least two persons—the Principal Investigator and the co-Investigator with expertise in the opposite gender. Additionally, it has been common practice for the nurse coordinators to attend at least two of these meetings with the PI, so it would be a good idea to budget for 3 persons for at least two of the annual meetings.
