Hello Melissa,

 

We run into this issue frequently. We normally say something to the effect of “Dr. X is 100% research grant funded and does not receive other institutional compensation.” In our experience this is normally enough justification for these circumstances.

 

 

 

Hi all,

I am hoping there is someone who has some good budget justification verbiage for the following situation of a Research Faculty member who relies on Research grants for her salary.  She does not have a traditional 9-month academic appointment.  Occasionally, she will teach a course, but primarily her job is University research. 

 

Since she has more than one NSF funded project that she is working on currently, does anyone have some standard verbiage that can be included in proposals that justifies why she needs to spend more than 2-months’ cumulative effort over all NSF projects?

 

In our last proposals we wrote, “ Please note that Dr. X is a research faculty member, and as such does not receive an institutionally supported, 9-month academic contract with time allocated for research in addition to teaching duties.”  I’m hoping that someone in this community might have some examples of more compelling language to use.

 

Thanks for any thoughts on the subject.
