Therefore, if employees are given a standard raise, sponsored project-supported employees get the same increase. Sponsored funds may not be used to add to the total salary or rate of salary of any University personnel. The creation of all new positions requires compliance with normal TJU appointment processes and with the equal opportunity and affirmative action policies. This applies to subcontractors as well. For continuation proposals, the cap must be used.
Contact OSA for current salary cap information.
Costs above the cap are considered cost sharing. See section 3.8 Cost Sharing for further information. Because of federal tax laws, University personnel acting as consultants must be paid through payroll rather than as outside contractors. Make a footnote or describe in the budget justification that the pay is a consulting cost over and above the individual's current appointment. The consulting must be allowed by the academic units involved.
