Since many federal agencies and other sponsors have mandated the electronic submission of proposals, electronic research administration (ERA) has been developed for the University of Illinois system. The number of federal agencies requiring electronic submission through Grants.gov is expected to increase rapidly as a result of a congressional mandate requiring agencies to move from paper to electronic systems. Non-federal organizations also continue to move toward electronic systems in an effort to streamline the proposal process.

41.2% – Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC) On-CampusCourse BuyoutsA Course Buyout is when grant funds “buy” a faculty member’s released time by paying for a portion of their salary so that the equivalent amount of effort (%) can be spent working on the funded project. A “Buyout” situation applies when a faculty member is granted a course release in order to accommodate a faculty member’s work on an externally funded project. The corresponding percentage of the faculty’s appointment is directly charged (accounted for) to the grant account (budget) during the term of the buyout. |
