Funding research faculty
Because research faculty are expected to engage with the academic enterprise, University policy caps externally-funded effort by research faculty at 95% in most situations, allowing for at least 5% effort on academic activities to be funded by internal funds. See HOP 7-1010: Research Effort Verification, section VII.4. This means that no more than 95% of a research faculty member’s salary can be funded by 26-accounts, with the remaining 5% to be funded by less restrictive, non-26-account funds. Faculty who wish to request an exception to this 95% cap may submit an Attestation for Increased Effort on Sponsored Funds request to the Office of Research Support and Compliance (ORSC) and are encouraged to consult with their research administrator before doing so.
NIH salary cap
Congress legislatively mandates a limitation on salary for individuals under NIH grant and cooperative agreement awards. The mandate appears in the annual appropriation act that provides authority for NIH to incur obligations for a given fiscal year (FY). For more information, consult Salary Cap Guidance linked from HOP 7-1010: Research Effort Verification, section VIII. Forms & Tools. Annual salary cap amounts are listed at NIH: Grants & Funding > Salary Cap Summary (FY 1990 - Present). Contact your research administrator with any questions.
