The CEF only funds certain types of salaries, so how do I know if the salary in my proposal is acceptable?
The CEF cannot fund project-related salaries for staff who are already employed elsewhere, providing them with a “second salary,” nor can CEF support their long-term, regular employment, even if that employment is based on soft-money (e.g., grants). Salaries for graduate students, technicians, and start-up positions established solely for the purpose of completion of the project may qualify for funding.
