Add pay is permitted for the principal investigator, project director, or appropriate staff member if allowed by the funding agency. Salary additions are allowed on a scale of up to 25 percent per academic year of the faculty contract base salary. The grant or contract must also cover the related fringe benefits and indirect costs. Under certain circumstances, 12-month faculty or staff may be eligible for add pay for grant participation when the responsibilities assigned through the grant exceed normal duties and obligations of the full-time position.
All add pay must be pre-approved by the Dean of the faculty member's college and the Vice President for Academic Affairs. During the routing process, the add pay is also approved by the Office of Grants and Contracts and the Vice President for Administration.
