NIH Salary Cap: NIH Salary Limitation on Grants and Cooperative Agreements: NOT-OD-23-056.
Health Insurance: Health Insurance for TBN (to be named) positions or where the insurance class is unknown, should be calculated at the full family rate. Also, personnel are responsible for any additional insurance provider. See the UK HR page for more information.
Graduate or Undergraduate: Students who carry certain course loads are exempt from FICA. However, at the proposal stage, we suggest you include the FICA for all students because student loads are often below the required level.
Graduate Students: If graduate student wages are budgeted in a proposal, support for graduate student tuition should also be budgeted. Graduate student tuition should be budgeted under "Other" direct costs in the proposal budget. For 20 hr/week research assistants, tuition and health insurance rates are summarized here.
Facilities & Administration Costs
Information on the current F&A costs can be found on the primary F&A costs page.
Enrichment Program
For information on enrichment eligibility and calculating enrichment splits, visit the Research Enrichment Program page.
Annual Budget Escalation
NOTE: Sponsors may limit escalation. Please check policy and the funding opportunity.
Recommended Rates:
Salaries:
No escalation to the most recently released DHHS Salary Cap rate; 3% annually for institutional base salary [IBS]. (Note: the fringe benefit rate should not be escalated; use current fringe rates and apply to the escalated salaries.)
The current DHHS Salary Cap must be applied to the proposal budget in each budget year it will be in effect. Do not assume a higher Salary Cap in the future will negate the need for applying the current cap to that budget period. Actual IBS should be listed in the proposal submission, but effort multiplied by current Salary Cap in the proposal budget when applicable.
Salary Cap also applies to summer salary; see here.
Other agencies with salary limitations:
DOJ
NIFA (actual IBS even when above cap should be requested in proposal as prior approval)
PCORI
Health insurance and Universal Tuition & Fees:
3% annually.
All other costs:
5% annually.
