Federal awards
Faculty may charge a maximum of 90% of their time, or 2.7 months over the whole summer, to any combination of federal awards. Contact your school to request an exemption to this policy.
Off-campus vs. On-campus: Designate an appointment as off-campus or on-campus based on where the work is being done. Work that would normally be done at Haystack Observatory, CERN, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, or other off-campus facilities would be considered off-campus work, and summer appointments should be made to off-campus.
