My salary is paid from contracts and grants and I do not have academic responsibilities. How do I account for effort towards preparing proposals and other administrative responsibilities?
No individual should certify 100% effort on externally-funded contracts or grants during any certification period, especially if they submitted any proposals during that period, and/or attended routine departmental or center meetings unrelated to a specific project. It is recommended that a minimal amount of effort be certified towards administrative duties and proposal preparation for each certification period. Consistent with University policy, as long as this effort is below the 5% threshold, no cost transfers should be required.
