>1)  At IIT, for those faculty on a nine-month academic appointment, they can
>elect to take one month summer salary support from external grant funding.
>Additional compensation for the summer requires one day of the academic year
>charge-off for each day of the summer salary in excess of the first summer
>month up to three summer months of salary (for example, if the faculty
>member has one month of academic year salary covered, they can request two
>summer months).  Does your institution require anything similar?  Or is
>there no restriction (unless the sponsor imposes it) on the number of summer
>months salary requested?
>
>2)  Is any portion of your indirect cost recovery returned to the PI and/or
>the department?  If so, what percentage?
>
>3)  Does your institution have any other incentives for faculty?

>Thanks in advance for your help!
