We have a new faculty
member joining our university in
August who is currently on an NIH grant as a consultant. The project
just
started and she hasn’t received any payments yet. Since she is
transferring
to our institution, she would prefer that our University receive the
payments,
instead of her, so that she could have an account set up here for her
research
use and hopefully not have to incur a tax consequence in light of her
working
as a consultant.
My question: what if
anything can be done? If we ask the
primary grant recipient to repost the consulting contract as a
subcontract, she
faces paying our indirect cost rate. Which could diminish the amount
available
for research considerably. I know she can’t donate the money and then
have use of it as that is against the law in terms of charitable
giving. Can
she have the primary site make the checks out to our University?
Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
Thanks
Matt
