The All Personnel Report requires a calculation of person months in order to determine if personnel participated for at least one person month or more. How do we determine person months?
Person months is the metric used for expressing effort (amount of time) that personnel devote to a project. The effort is based on the type of appointment of the individual with the organization (e.g., 12 month calendar year appointment, nine month academic year appointment, three month summer term). To calculate person months, multiple the percentage of effort associated with the project times the number of months of the appointment. NIH FAQs Regarding the Usage of Person Months provides additional explanation of this metric.
