I always go in circles about this. NIH also has the following guidance:https://grants.nih.gov/grants/how-to-apply-application-guide/format-and-write/develop-your-budget.htm

But, as pointed out below, why risk the cuts?

Hi Sandra,

This notice has not been replaced since 2012 – NIH doesn’t do raises
https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-12-036.html

“Inflationary increases for future year commitments will be discontinued for all competing and non-competing research grant awards issued in FY 2012, however adjustments for special needs (such as equipment and added personnel) will continue to be accommodated.”


We flatten our personnel costs on proposals that are over the modular budget limit and require a detailed budget and justification.  In other words, I take our internal budget workbook with the appropriate increases and then ask for 1/5 of the money each year for salary, fringe benefits for all personnel and also I do it for tuition for the graduate students because NIH doesn’t believe that goes up either. Repeat with travel too. And we have our subs do the same thing.

Here I have a faculty member coming in late for years 3-5 only which is allowed according to the note. Everything else is totally flat.  Otherwise you risk double cuts – NIH cutting out your raises AND then also reducing the overall award as well.

You don't often get email from xxxxxx@babson.edu. Learn why this is important

[This email originated from outside of OSU. Use caution with links and attachments.]

Dear Colleagues,

 

I wanted to know how you calculate your faculty salaries for NIH proposals that do not allow for cost of living increases. Do you base the salary on their current institutional base salary? Or a computed average salary based on the number of years of the award with a baked in cost of living increase?

 

Sincerely,

Hi Charna and brain trust - 

Can I piggyback with a related question? I'm more familiar with NIH than NOAA, but I'm trying to advise a colleague with a NOAA RPPR due now that it's moved to Commons.  

What budget information should be reported on an interim RPPR? The proposal budget, or a to-date spending report, or something else?  (notably this is a 1-year project, so we don't have a follow-on budget to request). I haven't been able to find clear guidance in any of the guidelines, and Scott's link (thanks, Scott!) seems to confirm that a budget does need to be entered for an interim report.

Appreciate all of your help.

Thanks,

Hello,

 

My name is Kristi (Dorsey) Pickering, and I am a graduate student in the Master of Science in Research Administration degree program at Johns Hopkins University. I am currently in the process of completing my thesis project, which is required for me to successfully graduate.

 

I sincerely appreciate you considering supporting me in this endeavor by completing the following survey: Evaluating the impacts of last-minute submissions (https://jh.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_77KD94UJ1U5chTg). The survey will take approximately 10-30 minutes to complete depending on your personal experiences and thoughts regarding last-minute submissions. The survey is targeted to research administrators who are directly (or indirectly) involved in the process of reviewing and submitting proposals at their institution and whose institution has an internal proposal submission deadline policy, procedure, process, or practice. More information is included on the first page of the survey.

 

Please disregard this email (and I sincerely apologize) if you have received this invitation already through another platform, as I have utilized multiple research administration resources to solicit responses for the survey. Even if you do not feel like this survey is appropriate for you to complete, please feel free to distribute this survey to your friends and colleagues who would be better suited to participate. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at xxxxxx@jh.edu.

 

With Sincere Thanks,

 

Kristi (Dorsey) Pickering

Graduate Student

M.S. in Research Administration, In Progress
