Hello Carol; We would use our Third Party process see http://orsa.uoregon.edu/web/forms/Form_3_Third_Party_Cost_Share_Cert.pdf Gary -----Original Message----- From: Research Administration List [mailto:xxxxxx@hrinet.org] On Behalf Of Carol Hillmer Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 5:22 AM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Effort question -- Professor emeritus as PI on grant A follow up question in regard to effort for emeritus -- if a Emeritus Professor does not wish to receive salary compensation on their project, how would you certify their effort commitment? In our system, we would be able to provide the individual with a $0 appointment, but would have no funding string to which effort would equate. Any thoughts on this would be helpful. Carol Carol Y. Hillmer Assistant Dean CALS Research Division -- UW-Madison 136 Agricultural Hall -- 1450 Linden Drive Madison, WI 53706 (608) 265-5495 phone (608) 265-9534 fax _________ Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2007 13:10:43 -0500 From: "Vigiolto, Margaret" <xxxxxx@DREXEL.EDU> Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Professor emeritus as PI on grant Sender: Research Administration List <xxxxxx@hrinet.org> To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org At Drexel, some of our retired faculty remain research-active and our policy states that emeriti may be granted principal investigator status. However, we would not grant PI status if we feel that the institution will have insufficient control over the work (i.e. as in the case of the PI who is working alone and permanently located in a far away state). We generally propose salary at the rate at which the professor retired, although if they are actively consulting, you may want to document and establish a more appropriate rate to use going forward. The key is to have a logical and defendable basis for the salary rate. If an award is made, we hire the professor at the level of effort approved for the proposed work. The professor and the work are subject to the usual controls and compliance checks, and we treat the project with the same care and standards that we apply to all sponsored projects.

In at least one case, we paid the professor an honorarium w/ no fringe benefits--that was for a short-term task. In other cases, we've put them back on the payroll at a mutually agreeable rate and included standard fringe benefits in the proposal budget. Sometimes we've used their final salary level, pre-retirement as the basis for figuring their grant-funded salary. In all cases, we've treated the proposals--and the projects that resulted--in the same way as other university proposals: monitoring compliance, accounting procedures, etc. In other words, we haven't just provided the retired faculty with a laundry for the funds. Not that your colleague was thinking of that, of course.

I used the salary range and step at which she retired and asked HR to give me the actual salary projections for the dates of the proposal.
