Cost Share Breakdown

For the Grant Submission Assistance Initiative

All costs* will be split as follows: OVPRGS = 60%, College = 40%

The Office of the Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation will only be communicating with and charging, the colleges. If a college wishes to split their costs with corresponding departments they must do so at their own discretion. The Office of the Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation will handle the processing of payments to the peer-reviewers and editors. The colleges will then be charged at the end of this process for their portion based on their faculty use.

Peer-Review

Each faculty enrolled in this program will have approximately three reviewers.

The standard payment amount to peer-reviewers is $250.

The standard method for internal (MSU faculty) peer-reviewers is a money transfer from the Office of the Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation to a departmental general fund account to be used at the peer-reviewers discretion. The standard method for external (non-MSU people) peer-reviewers is a check payment from the Office of the Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation.

Each unit has the option to choose a different payment amount for reviewers, and a different method of payment for internal reviewers** that are providing peer-review for the unit’s faculty proposals. This must be communicated to the research dean.

Colleges will inform the Office of the Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation if their units involved in the program choose to pay reviewers a special amount or in a special method for internal. If no payment amount and method is specified for a participating faculty’s unit, the faculty’s reviewers will be paid in the standard amount and method detailed above.

Editing

Each faculty enrolled in this portion of the program will have editing costs that average $1,500 – $3,000 depending on the stage of the proposal and effort/time spent on the grant proposal edit.

*Except for peer-review payments exceeding $250, all amounts over $250 will not be split or covered by OVPRGS

**Keep in mind that if payment method is added to a faculty’s paycheck taxes will be deducted.

Department 1 Example

Faculty Peer Reviewer 1 Peer Reviewer 2 Peer Reviewer 3 Grant Editing Total
Faculty A $250 $250 $250 $2,000 $2,750
Faculty B $250 $250 $250 $0 $750
Faculty A $0 $0 $0 $3,500 $3,500
Description Amount to be Split Split % Sub-Total Additional Expenses Total

Faculty A $500 $500 $500 $2,500 $4,000
Faculty B $500 $500 $500 $0 $1,500

This department spent more than the cap of $250 on each reviewer. The college will cover the $1,500 that was spent over the cap. The total that VPRGS will split with the college is $4,000.

Description Amount to be Split Split % Sub-Total Additional Expenses Total
VPRGS Portion $4,000 60% $2,400 $0 $2,400
