Faculty Incentive Compensation

  • Faculty Incentive Compensation

      • The principal investigator (PI) or co-investigator (Co-I) of an externally-funded sponsored program are eligible for incentive compensation. The base salary of the PI or Co-I must be paid from Education and General (E&G) funds. 
      • Incentive compensation for a PI or Co-I with assigned administrative duties is based on the faculty portion of the base salary directly related to instructional duties. Administrative and instructional duties are verified by workload reports. The maximum an assistant or associate dean or chair or director may buyout is 50 percent of their salary. 
      • A PI or Co-I may not buy out instructional workload and receive compensation for a teaching overload in the same semester 
      • A PI may qualify for both incentive options described below in the same semester.
