From the NSF GPG:

(i) Salaries and Wages (Lines A and B on the Proposal Budget)

(a) Senior Project Personnel Salaries & Wages Policy

NSF regards research as one of the normal functions of faculty members
at institutions of higher education. Compensation for time normally
spent on research within the term of appointment is deemed to be
included within the faculty member’s regular organizational salary.

As a general policy, NSF limits salary compensation for senior project
personnel to no more than two months of their regular salary in any one
year. This limit includes salary compensation received from all
NSF-funded grants. This effort must be documented in accordance with the
applicable cost principles. If anticipated, any compensation for such
personnel in excess of two months must be disclosed in the proposal
budget, justified in the budget justification, and must be specifically
approved by NSF in the award.

These same general principles apply to other types of non-academic
organizations.

NSF award funds may not be used to augment the total salary or salary
rate of faculty members during the period covered by the term of faculty
appointment or to reimburse faculty members for consulting or other time
in addition to a regular full-time organizational salary covering the
same general period of employment. Exceptions may be considered under
certain NSF programs, e.g., science and engineering education programs
for weekend and evening classes, or work at remote locations. If
anticipated, any intent to provide salary compensation above the base
salary must be disclosed in the proposal budget, justified in the budget
justification, and must receive the prior written approval of the
cognizant NSF Program Officer.

For faculty with 9-month academic appointments, compensation would be
generally limited to 2/9 ths of their academic base, unless, as noted
"be disclosed in the proposal budget, justified in the budget
justification, and must be specifically approved by NSF in the award."

What is the appropriate calculation to use when determining the 2

amount?
