Hey there my friends . . . I don't know why I can't figure this out . . . could you please tell me (1) are overloads permitted on federal grants and (2) if not . . . how do you accommodate faculty effort at say 5% a semester for two semesters, where release time is not warranted.  The specific circumstance that has raised this issue is a program where the budget ceiling is $100,000 over two years.  In order to do the project  . . . faculty are greatly reducing what they are asking the funding agency for . . . requesting funding for 5% effort when in reality they are spending a great deal more time on the project.  The only option I can figure, if overloads are not permissible . . .is to put them on summer payroll.  Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!  Jackie
