From the NRSA guidelines, this may help

 

11.2.10.2 Compensation

NIH recognizes that Kirschstein-NRSA fellows may seek part-time employment incidental to their training program to offset further their expenses. Fellows and trainees may spend on average, an additional 25% of their time (e.g., 10 hours per week) in part time research, teaching, or clinical employment, so long as those activities do not interfere with, or lengthen, the duration of their NRSA training. Funds characterized as compensation may be paid to fellows only when there is an employer-employee relationship, the payments are for services rendered, and the situation otherwise meets the conditions for compensation of students as detailed in Cost Considerations-Selected Items of Cost-Fringe Benefits / IHE Tuition/Tuition Remission in IIA. In addition, compensation must be in accordance with organizational policies applied consistently to both federally and non-federally supported activities and must be supported by acceptable accounting records that reflect the employer-employee relationship. Under these conditions, the funds provided as compensation (salary, fringe benefits, and/or tuition remission) for services rendered, such as teaching or laboratory assistance, are not considered stipend supplementation; they are allowable charges to Federal grants, including PHS research grants. However, NIH expects that compensation from research grants will be for limited part-time employment apart from the normal full-time training activities.

Compensation may not be paid from a research grant that supports the same research that is part of the fellow's planned training experience as approved in the Kirschstein-NRSA individual fellowship application.

Stipend Supplementation & Compensation. Under no circumstances may the conditions of stipend supplementation or the services provided for compensation interfere with, detract from, or prolong the fellow's approved Kirschstein-NRSA training program. Fellowship sponsors must approve all instances of employment on research grants to verify that the circumstances will not detract from or prolong the approved training program.

 

 

 

Seriously?  And be paid 100% on an NIH grant performing research?  I agree with the training and teaching opportunities but then I wouldn’t think you could charge 100% effort to NIH.

 

 

 

I think that the opportunity to teach, in addition to receiving purely research training, is consistent with the purpose of the F32, i.e. preparing an individual for a CAREER in academic research.

Happy New Year to all,

 

Please share your thoughts on the possibility (or restrictions) for a NIH funded full time post doc to take on extra responsibilities such as to teach a course, even if it is related to their post doc work.

Here is my inclination, if it is 100% FTE on the NIH grant for a 12 mo. period, then the answer would be no.

 

What do you think?

 

Thank you all.

 

Angie
