The two universities I’ve worked for would track it as a voluntary committed cost share and it needs to be reflected in effort reporting/account setup (if in budget justification)- a sort of contractual obligation if you will. If not in the justification, it’s voluntary uncommitted cost share and not tracked.

We would list it as cost share and track it – if it is listed in the budget justification.

Larger question to the listserv: If you list a specific amount of effort in the justification and the PI is not requesting any salary, does your institution consider it voluntary committed cost share, even if the sponsor doesn’t track it as such?

Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] NIH Personnel Justification

We have questions on budget justifications come up time and again at our institution. If you think about the purpose of the justification, it's to justify the costs requested in the budget. If the PI is not requesting salary, it doesn't make sense to list them in the justification. However, NIH has a policy that senior/key personnel must devote measurable effort to a project, whether or not compensation is requested. So yes, you should list them in the justification for NIH.

Also, the justification as another place (in addition to the research plan narrative and biosketch) to explain each person's roles and responsibilities, while touting his or her experience relevant to their project role(s).

Usually our justifications only specify the amount of time for which the PI is seeking salary support (mostly summer). I am working on an R03 with limited funding and the PI is not requesting salary. Would I list them on the justification? As academic year effort?
