At Murray State University, we give all new investigators, whether or not they have limited sponsored research support, a fixed, competitive salary. We do not expect them to become "grant-funded" within any time period.  However, the researchers are highly encouraged to develop research grant proposals and the institution allows faculty researchers to make summer pay and overload during the academic year if the sponsor will allow pending of course University approval.

How does your organization fund salary for new investigators that have very limited sponsored research support?   Do you give them a certain salary and expect them to become funded in a certain time period or provide a low salary and increase as grant support increases (direct correlation) or another method?
 
Thanks
