Let me ask you a different question:
Are you putting this person on the grant for purely "support" reasons --
i.e., you don't have the hard funds so you are transferring him to a
training grant? I can tell you from experience that if this is the
case, it will not sit well with your NIH institute funding the grant.
They want to see the most highly regarded (scientifically) postdocs
appointed, not appointments by convenience.
And yes, that person will probably lose out on benefits because this is
a trainee position, although you can use the institutional funds for
medical coverage.

Subject: [RESADM-L] T32 Question
Hi
My question is for those of you with experience in administering T32
grants. We would like to appoint a trainee/fellow to our T32 grant who
currently is in a staff position. The issue is how do we handle this
individual's benefits which are adversely affected by changing the
status
from "permanent staff" to post-doc fellow. It almost seems like we are
penalizing the individual by putting them on the grant. I would really
appreciate finding out how your institution handles this within the
guidelines of the NIH. Thanks.
