Christine,

I agree with Carolyn’s analysis.

I am guessing your scenario may be what Carolyn described as incidental pay or cross-departmental consultation. If the faculty member you are trying to add to the budget (1) is not the PI or co-PI and (2) is from a different department or the work on the grant is not his or her normal duty, you may budget the faculty as a consultant on the grant and pay supplemental compensation. You do need to clearly disclose the situation in the budget justification.

I hope this helps.

Best,

Jing

Christine,

"I’m asking because the stipend is small and isn’t attached to a number of hours to perform a task, therefore, would not be part of time and effort."

If this isn't going to be part of time and effort, it must be incidental pay -- it is my understanding of 2 CFR 200 that payment to faculty on a federal grant must be tied to time and effort unless it is incidental pay. You will have to disclose in the budget justification that this is supplemental pay for incidental work and state that you are paying a stipend.

However, I don't think that just because the amount is small and isn't attached to a number of hours to perform a task that the work is necessarily incidental. If you have a definition of incidental and this meets that, then I would think you could budget a stipend and explain it in the justification.

Would love to hear what others think. This is always a troublesome issue.

Subject: [RESADM-L] NIH Stipend Question

Quick question – may I include the cost of a stipend for a faculty member in my NIH budget or must the person be listed under “salaries?” I’m asking because the stipend is small and isn’t attached to a number of hours to perform a task, therefore, would not be part of time and effort.

Thanks!
