If you have any thoughts/experiences with paying faculty overload from grants,
please share.&nbsp; I spoke with Andrea Deaton at OU and she was pretty strong
in her view that it is unallowable.&nbsp; I also spoke with many outside the
state who said the same thing.&nbsp; But like my e-mail states, there seem to
be colleges and universities doing it.&nbsp; I thought that doing so would
result in&nbsp;a big fat audit finding, but now I'm not so sure.&nbsp; Also,
Andrea told me that earlier this spring you hosted a roundtable discussion with
grants resource people to discuss faculty incentives for grant writing.&nbsp; I
never got anywhere with it at OCCC, but if paying overload turns out to be a
compliance issue, Langston is going to want to replace it with something.&nbsp;
Andrea told me that you collected information on what <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
 w:st="on">Oklahoma</st1:place></st1:State> colleges/universities were doing to
give incentives for grant writing.&nbsp; Could you share that with me,
please.&nbsp; Thank you. /P&gt; <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
