We have a salary incentive policy and, three years ago, spent time with
NSF explaining how this did not violate the "extra
compensation" prohibition. NSF agreed that it does not.
You can download the policy at

If you have specific questions feel free to contact me off-list.

Colleagues-
In an effort to increase submissions, our university is considering using
release funds as an incentive to the faculty for
proposal-writing.
I would like to know if your institution offers similar incentives, why,
and if so, how the funds are administered and for how much. I would
especially like to hear from the smaller universities.
Thank you.
Angela
