The K-award section of the FEC training states that the VA appointment should be 2/8ths. I have a faculty member who has a 5/8ths appointment; can s/he still apply for a K award?

Generally, we would like the faculty member to have no more than 2/8ths appointment at the VA if s/he is going to apply for a K-award. However if, after discussing with his/her Department Chair, it makes sense for the person to apply and s/he has 2/8ths but not more than 5/8ths VA appointment, approval may be requested by sending a letter to the SOM Dean’s office, Office of Finance and Administration/Departmental Support (Julie Reid).
