2/9 NSF (41010000) Rule and Process
2/9 NSF (41010000) Rule and Process
Life of the Project:
1. Salary on all NSF grants cannot be over 2/9ths from July to June of the same budget year.
2. Use the calculator to monitor all NSF projects with effort and salary. This should be completed prior to salary being charged to NSF projects.
3. If a faculty member needs to change “person-months” devoted to an NSF project, a Prior Approval/Re-budget needs to be processed.
a. NSF Fastlane
b. Pick Notifications and Request
c. Significant Change in Person-Months Devoted to Project
4. At PAR time the calculator should be reviewed again for the NSF 2/9ths rule. (Remember if faculty changes the PAR to include that calculation)
5. Once salaries are all certified for July to June best practice would be to keep a copy of your calculator in the account folder in case of a future audit. This is a great tool to show the thought process at the time.
6. An NSF account manager will perform an annual audit to check for salary policy compliance. Issues will be forwarded to the appropriate business office(s) in the month of August for further review.
Close-out:
1. During the close-out process an NSF account manager will audit each NSF grant for salary compliance during the life of the project. Issues will be forwarded to the appropriate business office(s) for further review.
Failure to monitor could cause a hardship on the department as they will be responsible for any unallowable costs to projects.
