A Boat-Builder’s Guide: Budgeting Salaries for Sea-Worthy Research
March 23, 2023
2:00 – 3:30 pm EST * Webinar
3:35 – 4:30 pm EST * After the Show * Talk with the Faculty Directly!
In this webinar, we will conduct a deep dive into salary budgets. The session will analyze a broad spectrum of concerns, including but not limited to salary on academic vs. calendar vs. summer calendars. Material will explore the intersection of effort and payroll, budgeting for non-faculty personnel, conflicts of interest, and other auditing concerns. We will address the budget lifecycle, exploring how the pre-award stage lays groundwork for the post-award journey. We’ll discuss budgeting considerations that can set the path for project success or lead to unintended consequences and challenges that last even after closeout.
The webinar will serve participants at many levels of research administration. New research administrators learn how to effectively create a budget with strong fundamentals. Experienced research administrators may study challenging budget issues and think through solutions. Departmental administrators will receive takeaways to assist their work with faculty and central administration. Central administrators will gain insight into the process and how to better engage departmental or faculty partners to improve budgeting and budget review.
Format of webinar: 90-minute presentation, followed by 55 minutes of discussion.
