The following questions are included on the page:

Has there been a change in the other support of key personnel since the last reporting period?
Provide specific information only if active support has changed. Report the change in support if a previously active grant has terminated or if a previously pending grant is now active. Submission of other support information is not necessary if support is pending or if changes in the level of effort for active support have been reported previously. Other support information should be submitted only for the PI and for individuals that the PI considers key to the project.
Will there be, in the next budget period, a significant change in the level of effort for key personnel from what was approved for this project?
A significant change in level of effort is defined in Federal regulations as a 25 percent reduction in time devoted to the project. For example, if a key person on the project is expected to reduce his/her effort from 40 percent to 30 percent, which represents a 25 percent reduction in the level of effort, the detailed budget page and the budget justification page are to be submitted in the noncompeting continuation. This requirement applies regardless of whether or not the key person is compensated from the grant.
Is it anticipated that an estimated unobligated balance (including prior year carryover) will be greater than 25% of the current year's total Budget?
Explain any estimated unobligated balance (including prior year carryover) that is greater than 25 percent of the current year's total budget or more than $250,000. Provide an explanation of why there is a significant balance and how it will be spent if carried forward into the next budget period.
Were any inventions conceived or first actually reduced to practice during the course of work under this project?
If applicable, indicate if the invention has been previously reported.
Is program income anticipated during the proposed period for which support is requested?
Indicate if program income is anticipated during the proposal period for which support is requested. If you have made changes to any other information on this page, click Save before editing the program income.
