Dear Colleagues, Below is a link to the Buyout Worksheet that investigators complete if they plan to submit a grant that buys out faculty time from their 9-month contract. (It is not needed for proposals that only include summer compensation.). You should be able to download the form as a Word doc and complete that when preparing a grant proposal. The worksheet must be uploaded into CAYUSE 5 days prior to the funder due date, along with other proposal materials. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ub8fkSgLVkhkK1KCHJiTb4Y5JMl1PxNSc8VEn... The worksheet is completed by the investigator and signed for both course buyouts and research buyouts. For both, a brief summary of duties to be performed during the semester(s) of the research or course buyout is provided by investigator in the Worksheet. Course buyouts require the investigator’s Department Chair’s signature and approval (but research buyouts do not require Chair signature). Also attached is a summary of the current policy/approach to redistribution of investigator’s state salary resulting from the buyout. Its use going forward, of course, depends on its fit with the new workload guidelines and the approval of the incoming Dean, Dr. Torres. If you have any questions about this, let me know. Your department representative on the Research and Development Committee also may be able to answer questions regarding this Worksheet and related policy. Michael Michael J.
