VA/University Appointments Atkinson, Timothy N 12 Mar 2002 18:00 EST

How do you manage VA/University appointments on NIH grants? We have been
holding our ground saying, "you can't recover any of the VA salary so you
must use the University salary as the base X percent effort for computing
your request from NIH on the grant."

But, of course, the department says their losing money and they want to use
VA + University salary as base X percent effort when computing the request.
(How are they losing money?)

We do not think this is acceptable based on NIH regulations. Do you know
something we do not know about this? Are we being too harsh? Is there any
other way to manage this other than the NIH regulations? Are we
misinterpreting?

Thanks,

Tim Atkinson
