Please note what NSF states regarding this matter.  Given this direction from NSF, and in an effort to remain consistent, we have applied the NSF definition to all awards.

"Recipients are advised that
if an individual works on the
NSF funded project, and the
recipient charges associated
personnel costs to the
ARRA project, this should
be reported as a job
retained (or created if hired
specifically to support the
project)."

Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] ARRA Reporting: Job Creation

We are not including tenured or tenure track faculty in jobs created or
retained, except in exceptional cases.  On the other hand, according to
a presentation at the September FDP, about 65% of institutions
responding to an FDP survey are including all salaries supported by ARRA
money as created or retained.
