Hello,

When new personnel are hired using grant funds there is always the chance
that the position will be lost if the grant funds are lost (which would mean
they could be laid off or transferred to another area).  Do any of your
institutions formally disclose this to the applicants, and if so, do you ask
them to sign a form which indicates that they have been informed of the
situation?

Also - in some cases a portion of an individuals salary may be composed of
grant funds, or personnel may be offered increases based on grant funds.  Do
any of your institutions make it clear to the employee that the loss of
grant funds could reduce their salary or force them to reduce their hours?

If any of you do provide such letters, I would be interested in seeing them.

Thank you.

Alex
