All sponsored projects personnel must be appointed and paid in accordance with applicable University guidelines. Classified staff are covered by the Policies and Procedures issued by the Human Resource Management Dept. Faculty and Research Staff are covered by policies and procedures outlined in the Faculty Handbook.

All faculty and staff members must be paid in accordance with their normal salary rate for the University, regardless of the source of funds. Consequently, salary rates and increments are subject to the same regulations as all other University funds. Additionally, all salaries and wages charged to a sponsored project must be earned during the official period of performance stated in the award document. Exceptions would only result in audit disallowance.

All appointment forms or other requests authorizing salaries to be paid from sponsored projects must be forwarded to SPO for processing.
