<p style="margin-bottom:15px;">Extramural funding agencies (whether federal, state, or local for research or other special projects) should provide universities with faculty salary support and indirect cost revenue. In this way, universities are able to recover some of the costs incurred in doing such research or other projects. In turn, and to the extent possible within the context of the College’s missions, faculty grantees are released from their university responsibilities and spend this portion of their time and effort on the externally funded projects that are paying that portion of their salary.</p> | <p style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;">Extramural funding agencies (whether federal, state, or local for research or other special projects) should provide universities with faculty salary support and indirect cost revenue. In this way, universities are able to recover some of the costs incurred in doing such research or other projects. In turn, and to the extent possible within the context of the College’s missions, faculty grantees are released from a proportion of their university responsibilities and spend this portion of their time and effort on the externally funded projects that are paying that portion of their salary.</p> | ||
====Indirect cost revenue==== | ====Indirect cost revenue==== | ||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;">Indirect cost return, also known as facilities and administrative (F&A) costs, results from extramural grants and contracts. F & A dollars are distributed to NU and UNMC, and the College receives a lesser portion. These funds are used by the Dean in service of the College’s research mission, and largely support the Niedfelt Nursing Research Center. </p> | <p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Indirect cost return, also known as facilities and administrative (F&A) costs, results from extramural grants and contracts.

The Plan pertains to faculty who are PI Co-PI, Co-I, Project Director, or Co-Project Director of an extramural grant. The issue of supplemental compensation applies only when a portion of the person’s salary is compensated by the grant/contract. By NU policy, maximum salary supplement is 50% of freed up dollars, not to exceed 25% of base University salary. The award of supplemental compensation is at the discretion of the Dean and depends on such factors as workload adjustments and costs of the project to the College. Faculty have the option to take all or part of the supplemental compensation as salary or to allocate all or part of their supplemental compensation to a Professional Development Account.</p> | ||

===Professional Development Accounts=== | ===Professional Development Accounts=== | ||
===Faculty Development Supported by | <p style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;">Professional development accounts are established at the request of individual faculty to hold funds generated by supplemental compensation, faculty clinical practice, consultations, or other revenue earnings within the faculty role. </p> | ||
===Summer Salary=== | <p style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;">Expenditures from professional development funds are subject to University and State regulations. These funds are used for professional activities and not personal use. Examples of appropriate expenses are:</p> | ||
===Budget | <ul style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;"> | ||
<li>Travel to professional conferences</li> | |||

<li>Salary and benefit costs for support personnel (e.g., graduate assistant, transcriptionist, hourly worker for research data entry)</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;">Examples of disallowed expenditures include:</p> | |||
<ul style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;"> | |||

<li>Membership in organizations not related to the faculty role</li> | |||
<li>Equipment for personal/home use (unless such reverts back to the University once the project is completed)</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
===Faculty Development Supported by Division=== | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;">Division development accounts are used to support the career advancement and educational goals for 9 and 12 month faculty who are .5 FTE and above. Division Deans may approve:</p> | |||
<ul style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;"> | |||
<li>travel and associated costs of professional meetings </li> | |||
<li>books or journal subscriptions</li> | |||
<li>professional memberships</li> | |||
<li>training costs for professional purposes</li> | |||
<li>equipment purchases with approval of Associate Dean for Research, as may apply (reminder: all equipment purchased with University dollars is University-owned equipment.)</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;">The College has a list of priorities (also see Travel Policy) to guide Division Assistant Deans’ decision-making for resource allocation related to travel. Priority for approval of travel requests follows:</p> | |||
<ul style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;"> | |||
<li>Presentation of scholarly papers</li> | |||
<li>Meetings of regional, national or international organizations of which the College is a member and should be represented for voting and information purposes, e.g., American Association of Colleges of Nursing, Midwest Nursing Research Society, Sigma Theta Tau International </li> | |||
<li>Travel to receive a regional, national or international award or recognition </li> | |||
<li>Meetings of regional, national or international organizations of which the individual is a member and who can network to recruit faculty or students and otherwise increase visibility of the College </li> | |||
<li>Workshops and conferences for faculty and staff development and/or to promote the CON strategic plan, e.g., teaching, practice and research at the College</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;">With regard to international travel, when possible the College supports a reasonable contribution toward a foreign trip based on available resources at the Division Assistant Dean’s discretion and recommendation to the Dean. Faculty’s request for international travel must be approved by the Dean in advance of commitments and travel arrangements.</p> | |||
<p>For all professional expenditures, sources of support include:</p> | |||
<ul style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;"> | |||
<li style="margin-left:3em;">Individual Faculty Professional Development Accounts</li> | |||
<li style="margin-left:3em;">Division development accounts</li> | |||
<li style="margin-left:3em;">College professional development account (when available)</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
===Summer Salary for Educational or Practice Innovation Scholarship=== | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;">When monies are available, 9-month faculty are eligible to apply for up to three months of summer salary to support projects and initiatives approved by the College. Projects and initiatives must be aligned with the College’s strategic plan. In the fall of each year, assuming the budget allows, the Executive Council evaluates the greatest need for the next year and alerts the Summer Salary Committee to the next summer’s focus. No more than twelve months of total salary support (academic plus summer salary) can be approved in a twelve month period.</p> | |||
===Annual Budget=== | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;">For purposes of unit budget planning, the following categories are considered by Division Assistant Deans:</p> | |||
<ul style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;"> | |||
<li>Personnel | |||
<ul> | |||
<li>identify all necessary positions</li> | |||
<li>recommend equity salary adjustments </li> | |||
<li>recommend merit increases based on performance</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
</li> | |||
<li>Operating Costs | |||
<ul> | |||
<li>associated costs of personnel: | |||
<ul> | |||
<li>major travel expenses</li> | |||
<li>office equipment, furniture, supplies</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
====Budget Guidelines==== | |||
<ul style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;"> | |||
<li>Resource needs, broadly considered, include personnel and operating costs.</li> | |||
<li>Unit and Division budgets primarily consist of personnel and travel and may include operating dollars for basic office equipment and supplies.</li> | |||
<li>The College Operating Budget was fixed by NU many years ago and is inadequate to meet today’s needs; therefore, the same is true for Unit and Division budgets.</li> | |||
<li>Salary lines are central and may be moved between Units and Divisions to meet strategic College needs.</li> | |||
<li>As is the case with many other College activities, a partnership exists between Units, Divisions, and the Dean’s office. Unit leaders and administrators and Division Assistant Deans are accountable for providing input on their budgets based on needs; for controlling spending within the planned budget; and for alerting the Dean’s office to needs beyond their budget. The Dean’s office is responsible for assuring compliance with established funding priorities and budgetary and other guidelines; for oversight of all budgets; and for transfer of funds among cost centers as needed.</li> | |||
