From the NIH Grant Policy Statement the following was copied regarding sabbaticals and payment from an NIH award:

Sabbatical leave costs may be included in a fringe benefit rate or in the organization’s F&A rate. Salary may be charged directly to a project for services rendered to the project by individuals while they are on sabbatical leave, provided the salary is proportional to the service rendered and is paid according to established organizational policies applicable to all employees regardless of the source of funds. Sabbatical leave paid by an individual’s employer, in combination with other compensation (e.g., partial salary from an NIH grant), may not exceed 100 percent of that individual’s regular salary from his or her organization.

Hello,

Does anyone know if Sabbatical leave can be charged as a direct cost to federally sponsored agreements, specifically, charged to an NIH grant?

Thanks,
Marinda
