Hi Jessica,
There is no place in the federal regulations that I am aware of where this is specified.  As a result of some high profile audit findings related to faculty effort many institutions set a maximum limit on the percent of salary that can be paid from sponsored programs.  We elected not to do that.  Our practice is provided in a Grants Information Memorandum (GIM) published on our web page that you can see here. http://www.washington.edu/research/osp/gim/gim35.html

Subject: [RESADM-L] Maximum PI Effort?

Good morning!  Does anyone know if there is a maximum amount of effort that
a PI can commit to his/her funded projects?  I remember thinking that it
couldn't reach 100% because of the necessary administrative/grant writing
duties that s/he might have, but I can't find that written down anywhere.
Thanks!
Jessica
