D. General

Other than as specified above, there is no automatic provision for release time or supplemental compensation for work on University-generated contracts or projects that lie outside of an employee's contractual duties and responsibilities. In certain circumstances, supplemental consulting or service activities within the University may sufficiently enhance a person's regular teaching, research, or service responsibilities, in a manner considered beneficial to the institution, so as to justify the use of time and facilities otherwise committed to the University. Approval by the appropriate department head, dean, or director must be obtained for each activity, and a record should be kept of time and resources used for the activity.

With one exception, supplemental compensation for work on sponsored projects during a period of appointment is not permitted for full-time personnel. On occasion, grant funds may provide a consulting fee to an employee not listed as investigator on the grant in return for special professional services or advice. Such payment requires the prior approval of the employee's department head and dean.

Part or all of the salary of an individual on an academic or fiscal appointment who is assigned to a sponsored project can be taken from a contract or grant. General operating (state) funds released by such adjustments are usually retained within the department.
