About these templates.

This is an update of the templates I distributed in 1991,
which were modifications of some done by others. I have
incorporated the changes for the revised PHS398
application, dated 5/95. I don't have the non-comp or the
NRSA forms yet. If you make them send them along to me at
djt2@po.cwru.edu and I'll post them.

The templates are in Word 5 and Excel 4 format. I have
not, and do not intend to update them to Word 6 or Excel
5 format. I do not intend to ever buy another Microsoft
product. The next iteration is liable to be in
WordPerfect format, or else Framemaker or Pagemaker form.
If you translate these forms to another wordprocesser
format I'd like a copy back. If you need help translating
to the newer and slower Microsoft formats, please contact
b_gates@microsoft.com.

The documents are in Stationary form for your own
protection. PLEASE COPY THE COMPLETE FOLDER BEFORE
MODIFYING THEM. This is because I don't want to have to
re-distribute them to everyone before each cycle, and
also because the Excel files are linked (the 5 year
automatically updates when the 1 year is modified) and
separated files will be frustrated. Note that in most
cases salaries and raw data get input in the non-printing
part of the sheet, to the right.

The Excel sheets provide some calculation room to input
your own fringe rate and overhead rate. It is easy to
muck these sheets up if you move a lot of things around.
Check the effects of your reformatting for accuracy. I
have added a couple of lines to the 5 year sheet that
summarize the indirect calculations. This makes life
easier for the grants office.

By the way, I do not have similar sheets for those
attached to the Micro$oft umbilicus. These may translate
well to MS Word4Win, but there are no guarantees. Again,
if you need technical help, Email b_gates@microsoft.com.

You may freely post these on your own server, but please
leave this readme file intact.

Accolades and electronic funds transfers may be sent to
me at djt2@po.cwru.edu.

Best of luck with your proposal,
