Faculty: Normally, faculty members should not receive supplementary pay, that is, remuneration for additional work performed during their regular, 9 or 12 month appointment term, since they are already being paid for full-time service (100% effort). Payments for additional work during that period will usually be substitutive rather than supplementary.

In unusual circumstances, particularly when a department other than the PI's primary appointment is involved, he or she may request permission from the Provost, with the approval of the appropriate dean, to receive reimbursement from grant funds above his or her regular salary. This policy has been invoked when faculty are involved in special training programs for non-Duke scientists conducted on campus.

Monthly Staff: Grants may not be used to augment the salaries of Duke staff. Policy does allow monthly employees to receive supplementary pay if they perform short- term tasks, conducted outside their work schedules, which are not related to their primary jobs, although this rarely occurs as part of funded projects.
