Would your institution normally pay a faculty member an administrative stipend over and above the regular salary for extra administrative responsibilities?  If when faculty serve as interim chairs, e.g., do they receive an admin stipend in lieu of an actual salary boost? If the institution has such a policy, does that allow for the payment of such stipends from federal grants?

Can anyone tell me whether stipends are an allowable expense on 
federal funds?

We have a faculty member who is director of a federally-funded 
cooperative institute, and as compensation for his effort (above and 
beyond his normal teaching/research/etc.), we're being asked to pay 
him a stipend off of the administrative funding portion of the 
award.  We have always used these funds in the past to pay for other 
salaries in the past, but never for excess income.   This is an 
administrative stipend being paid in recognition of extra 
administrative responsibilities.

Thanks!
