Revised SPH Policy: Faculty Effort on Training Grants

Training grants require effort from faculty to fulfill the training goals indicated in the program plan. While some sponsors may allow direct charging of faculty salary to the grant, many do not.

To account for the considerable time faculty spend on programs supported by training grants, it is optimal to allocate effort for that time in a faculty member’s payroll costing to ensure salary supported from each grant is aligned with effort expended.
