Can research organisations still apply for pooled staff effort such as technicians or secretaries? Are they DI or DA?
A. Yes. Pooled staff effort is usually taken to include staff that are specific to a project even though only a proportion of their time is allocated to it, plus support staff in the category `departmental technical and administrative services’. Where staff are specific to a project, they can be DI if their costs can be charged as actuals and underpinned by an auditable record; otherwise they will be DA. Departmental technical and administrative services should be listed under Other Directly Allocated, Project Specific costs.

Where staff are specific to a project, they can be DI if their costs can be named and charged directly to the project, underpinned by an auditable record e.g. time sheets; otherwise they will be DA.
