No bonuses at the University of Cincinnati that I am aware of.  However,
since a portion of the indirect is returned to the department and PI I
suspect there may be some "additional" pay made to faculty from these
accounts which may or may not be related to their proposal activity.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Faculty "Bonuses" from Indirects
Importance: High

Colleagues:

The University of the Virgin Islands is in the introductory stages of
developing an indirect cost distribution schedule and policy.  A faculty
member claims that a colleague at a major mainland university told him that
his institution's policy allows successful grant-writers to collect an
annual "bonus" based on a percentage (1%) of indirect costs recovered
through the grant.  I've never heard of an institution that makes cash
payments to investigators based on indirect costs recovered.  Is this
legal?  Do any of you have similar policies that you would be willing to
share with me?

Thank you for any and all guidance you can provide.
