Betty and RESADMers--

At University of Wisconsin-River Falls, full-time faculty carry the equivalent of a 15 credit load--12 hours teaching, 3 hours research/service.  Therefore, when I write budgets for proposals requiring matching funds, I frequently include those three hours for the PI or PD under the institution's contribution.

A caution--at our place, the 15 hour load is not always well-understood.  And some folks have a hard time understanding matching funds, also--when I write numbers in the matching column, some think that the university will pay them those dollars in real money.  So I've learned that workloads and matching funds are concepts which require lots of preliminary explanation.

Regards, Bill

Dear Friends:

At your institutions, what constitutes 100% time and effort for faculty?

Do you figure percentages of release time based on teaching load only, or
does your institution identify a portion of the faculty member's time as
devoting to research and/or service?

Thanks for any answers.  If you wish to reply directly, my email is below.
