Looks really good. I've made a couple of notes on tightening their original language to help us be more efficient moving through this. If you see places do additional tightening that would be useful. Italicize everything that's a note not a piece of information to be provided.

This seems like something for you to look up based on the RFP (no one except you, Morgan, and I even know what these acronyms mean

Maybe I could change it to "Any information useful in determining F&A Base and F&A rate?" The problems I'm having are when I get a budget request with absolutely no context. The person writing the proposal is much morel likely to have familiarity with the sponsor. I usually haven't even seen or heard about the proposal, or it can be difficult for me to glean just from a project description in progress what entities, activities and locations may be involved.
And certainly if you or Morgan are the one making the request, I would like your input on how you think F&A should be set up. They're still going to end up changing it on us sometimes, and I don't think it's really that big of a deal to do a couple iterations with them. But if we're trying to get everything perfect the first time, having that input from you would be more likely to get us there efficiently.
