[Okgrantsmanship] Faculty Overload from Grants

[Mason, Linda]

Alexis Black is now the Langston Sponsored Programs director. She wants
to know if any of the regional universities pay faculty overload salary
as their grant project work salary. I am pretty sure that the federal
agencies do not want that to be a practice. Will you give me your
comments about your own practices? Thanks.

Linda:  If you have any thoughts/experiences with paying faculty
overload from grants, please share.  I spoke with Andrea Deaton at OU
and she was pretty strong in her view that it is unallowable.  I also
spoke with many outside the state who said the same thing.  But like my
e-mail states, there seem to be colleges and universities doing it.  I
thought that doing so would result in a big fat audit finding, but now
I'm not so sure.  Also, Andrea told me that earlier this spring you
hosted a roundtable discussion with grants resource people to discuss
faculty incentives for grant writing.  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.  Andrea told me
that you collected information on what Oklahoma colleges/universities
were doing to give incentives for grant writing.  Could you share that
with me, please.  Thank you. /P>
