Required Approvals for Sponsored Projects
赞助项目是所有从大学以外的来源获得支持的项目. 唯一的例外是礼物——没有预期产品的钱——礼物通常由开发办公室处理.
所有通过学院提交的赞助项目必须准备一份电子提案内部批准表(ePIAF). In order to permit a timely and substantive review of all submissions, 完成的提案必须在要求提交给机构的日期之前至少两周提交给研究办公室(W110 Smith).
Preparing the Budget
Early in the proposal writing process, 你应该联系负责研究的副院长,开始为你的项目起草预算. 对预算有一个大致的想法将有助于你对你正在写的提案的规模和范围进行概念化.
大多数提案将需要两个预算元素:预算本身(预算细节)和预算理由(预算的笔记). While the exact format for the budget will vary by funding agency, the basic elements are found in the Budget Detail and the 预算的笔记 forms. The Budget Detail identifies individual budget elements (e.g., salaries, travel, etc.),而预算说明则解释有关开支在整体计划中的角色.
编制预算是调查员和研究办公室的共同责任. These responsibilities are:
Investigator Responsibility | 研究办公室 Penn State 阿尔图纳 Responsibility |

提案撰写人有责任准备预算细节和预算说明. 该办公室将监督以电子方式提交提案文件的最终草案.
Salary Calculations
在估计学校里从事外部资助研究的教员的工资水平时, the following rates will be used:
- 夏天的工资: calculated on the basis of 1/9th of a faculty member's salary for each month at 1.0 FTE.
- Fall and Spring Semester Salaries: a single course reduction for one semester is .20 of that semester's salary and benefits. 这一政策的唯一例外是当使用大学内部资金时,在这种情况下,每门课程收取4000美元的固定费用.
每当补助金, 合同, 或者津贴规定教员必须全职工作(包括提供建议), 服务, and other campus obligations) on grant-funded activities, 购买教师总工作量的费用将是他/她在资助期间(学期或年)的工资和福利的100%。.
当外部资助的研究活动(如居住在国外)使教师无法履行其咨询和服务义务时, 购买教师总工作量的费用将是他/她在资助期间(一学期)的工资和福利的100%。.
Limitations on Compensation from 奖助金 and Contracts
教师 members are limited to receiving 48 weeks of salary during a calendar year. 签订36周合同的教职员工在夏季可以从研究资助和合同中获得额外的12周工资. 签订48周合同的教员只能以节省工资的形式获得研究经费.g., course buy-outs).
研究经费和合同不能用于产生超负荷或补充工资. That is, faculty members are limited to 1.0 fte when earning income from external grants or 合同s.
在为期六周的暑期课程中教授三学分课程的教员被视为在职 .5FTE during the 合同 period. 在课间讲授3学分课程的教员被认为是1学分.0 fte during the 合同 period. 研究 funding must be adjusted so that total compensation does not exceed 1.0 fte.
Return of Indirect
该大学负责研究的副校长目前的政策是,将大约12%的间接投资(F&A)从产生这些资金的大学或研究单位的赠款和合同中扣除.
In order to foster further development, 教务处已经确定,十大网投平台信誉排行榜阿尔图纳分校的教师有权使用由他们撰写的赠款和合同产生的间接资金的9%. Legitimate uses include: hiring research assistants, 夏天的薪水, research equipment and instrumentation; graduate assistantships or fellowships; supplies, 材料, and the modification of facilities; faculty scholarly development and travel; seminars and lecture series; and personnel or other standards of any research audit. 剩下的3%将保留在基金中,以支付一些提案所要求的大学匹配费用.
In the event of multiple authors (Co-Principal Investigators), 获得这些资金的机会将按每个人参与项目的比例分配(通常反映在FTE中)。. If no indirect is to be returned to Penn State 阿尔图纳 from a project, faculty will not be entitled to the 9% share.
这些资金通常在项目获得资助后的财政年度的7月1日可供教师使用. For multiple-year projects, only that indirect charged during the prior fiscal year will be available for use. In extraordinary circumstances, 教职员工可以通过向主管学术事务的副校长提出书面申请,要求提前获得这些资金.
这些政策将在大学改变其关于间接资金分配的政策时进行修订. (Revised August 2001)
