Personnel

Salary should be calculated according to proposed effort of the individual over the course of the budget period. If there are significant fluctuations throughout the budget period, they can be identified Otherwise, it is best to budget the effort based on the entire budget period, normally a year.
Include in the salary information:

  • the individual's name and university payroll title (where possible)
  • percentage of time that will be spent on the project
  • present (or anticipated) salary, and
  • the amount to be charged to the grant

For employees on a nine-month contract, summer salary can be requested for the effort planned for the summer period.
Sponsored funds may not be used to supplement the total salary or rate of salary of any university personnel.
