Some very complex projects (I’m thinking U54s, or projects with multiple F&A rates) as well as some per-patient clinical trials that don’t have a set final amount are difficult to input in SAGE budgets. Do you have a plan to make that easier prior to this requirement change?

The clinical trials that use CTMS for budgeting will be excluded from the SAGE Budget requirement at the time of award setup. If there are other complex budgets that have special sponsor requirements that cannot be met by SAGE Budget, we will identify a way to bridge that gap.
