If the NIRG application included salary costs and the applicant subsequently takes up a permanent lecturer position, can the salary costs be vired to other areas?
Yes. We actually see this as a positive incentive for applicants to aim for an established post as soon as possible. You will have to spend a minimum of ten hours per week on the NIRG but any excess salary originally requested can be vired. However, the transfer of funds between headings are only permitted within and between directly incurred costs and exceptions.
