All faculty in the College of Osteopathic Medicine are strongly encouraged to obtain external funding from grants and contracts to support salary and benefits.  For faculty on less than full-year appointments, this funding can supplement the salary up to twelve (12) months.  For faculty already on full-year appointments or if the salary support obtained is in excess of twelve (12) months, the amount of salary and benefits released by grant funding will be distributed as follows:

 

  • 50% will be transferred to a designated account of the home department of the faculty member;
  • 20% will be transferred to a designated account of the faculty member;
  • 30% will be transferred to the Dean’s Research Support Fund.

 

An exception to this policy will be made with all industry sponsored clinical drug trials.  In the case of such funding, 100% of the faculty salary released to these grants will be transferred to the investigators research incentive accounts, and the salary released for the research nurses will be transferred to the Clinical Research Unit Support account.

 

Departments may use their share of the funding to cover costs resulting from relieving faculty of other duties (e.g., teaching, clinical service, etc.) in order to participate in the sponsored research, programmatic activities of a grant award, or for general promotion of research, scholarship and professional development.  These funds will be available to the department and faculty member for the fiscal year the faculty salaries are released by grant funding plus the subsequent fiscal year.  The department and/or faculty member may submit a proposal to the Dean to request to carry forward remaining funds one additional fiscal year.

 

Exceptions may be considered at the discretion of the Dean.
