[Okgrantsmanship] Faculty Overload from Grants

[Betty Beall]

Linda,

UCO does not pay faculty overload salary for participation in their grants.  No overload salary of any kind is paid from federal grants unless it specifically crosses department lines and meets the guidelines of A-21 which is very rare.

Any incentive to faculty for writing grants comes from other University funds, not grant funds, and has to meet the policies and procedures established by UCO.

Subject: [Okgrantsmanship] Faculty Overload from Grants

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>
