<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Please disseminate this
message broadly within your unit to Principal Investigators and those
individuals involved in the processing of financial transactions in support of
faculty summer salary charges to sponsored awards.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Findings associated with several
high-profile audits and investigations of nationally renowned universities have
emphasized the importance of ensuring that UCR remains a good steward of public
resources. In particular, some of these recent findings have illuminated misunderstandings
on the part of grantees regarding the allowability and allocability of salary
charges to sponsored awards, especially faculty summer salary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>To help guide and assist
individuals responsible for making faculty summer salary expense allocation decisions,
as well as individuals involved in facilitating the financial transactions
necessary to implement those decisions, the Office of Academic Personnel, Accounting
Services and the Office of Research have prepared “<a
href="http://or.ucr.edu/SP/Lifecycle/PostAward/FacultySummerSalary.aspx">Guidelines
for Charging Faculty Summer Salary to Sponsored Awards</a>.” These
guidelines are intended to help inform the campus community of key issues and
principles that need to be considered prior to charging faculty summer salary
to sponsored awards.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>It is important that UCR continue
to be a good steward of public funds. Ensuring that UCR complies with its
own policies and procedures, as well as the federal regulations that govern the
allowability and allocability of costs to sponsored awards is an important part
of the campus’ stewardship commitment. Toward that end, these
guidelines have been shared with the PPS User Group and the Contracts and
Grants User Group. These two groups play an important role in assisting
and advising UCR’s researchers, and in particular, the Contract and Grant
User Group plays an important role facilitating UCR’s management of
sponsored awards.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
