It’s been good to see that responses confirm the policy of charging effort to a grant when the work is done.
So, how would you respond to a faculty member’s perception that since research is part of faculty workload and built into their contract (i.e. reduced teaching
load to conduct research during the AY), it’s already covered, and the sponsor shouldn’t be charged for that effort during the AY? Which then frees up those sponsored funds for other purposes?
Any and all responses (off-line too) would be appreciated.

We do not allow faculty to work on a sponsored award during the AY and be paid in the summer. The time and effort must match.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Academic year effort for summer salary
OK folks, I need the group to help me out here as I'm just having a hard time with the reconciliation.
I have a 9-month faculty member who is not guaranteed summer salary--not terribly unusual for a 9-month appointment. The question is,
and I just haven't had much experience with 9-month faculty who are funded through non-NSF proposals--can I defer payment for effort in the academic year to be recovered in the summer? My gut says no as I'm generally on the "you recover salary for effort
when it is performed," but this seems to be a VERY common practice for 9-month appointments, and I don't want to allow my lack of familiarity to cause me to be too rigid.
Thank you!!
