OSPA’s Useful Proposal Information page (http://www.research.uky.edu/ospa/info.html) has been updated.  One item in particular is that previously they had recommended a health insurance escalation of more than 10% in multi-year grant proposal budgets.  After looking at the actual increases over the past 5 years, they determined that number was no longer an accurate reflection.  It has been changed so that they now recommend a 3% escalation for health care costs.   The SRAS will incorporate this reduction into the budget templates used by the GPSs.
