We split award credit and research incentive funds in several ways.

We have a research incentive fund (RIF)program that returns a proportion of recovered F&A to the school, department and investigator.  As per your specific question, if it is appropriate to the scientific involvement of the various parties, credit and RIF dollars can be split among various investigators -- a PI and one or more co-investigators -- regardless of whether they are in the same school or department. Determining the split is the responsibility of the relevant investigators, with department and/or dean approval.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Proportionally Crediting Awards

We have traditionally credited all award dollars (and pending proposals) to
the Principal Investigators primary department as identified on our internal
routing form. Recently a couple of our colleges have asked that we modify
that procedure to split the credit for awards among multiple
co-investigators and their designated departments based on percentage
allocation that would be agreed to on the internal approval form. Another
suggestion has been to allocate all award credit to the principal
investigators tenure department and not allow non-tenure granting
interdisciplinary centers to receive credit for awards. Does anyone split
award credit for a single award among multiple departments? Do you have a
mechanism for crediting an interdisciplinary center and an academic
department for the same award activity?
