  16. Comparison of Duke’s NIH Growth Rate to NIH Overall Growth Two year rolling average growth rate

  17. School of Medicine Finances on a More Detailed Level (i.e., so what does all this mean to you?) Externally sponsored research A fund code is established which links the grant to the department with you identified as PI. Part of your salary should be charged against this code, depending on your effort. Other than the indirect cost rate, there are no institutional “taxes” or overhead assessments.

  18. School of Medicine Finances on a More Detailed Level (i.e., so what does all this mean to you?) General Funds: The allocation of the central budget from the Dean to the Chair/Director. The allocation is fully flexible to the Chair. Allocation formula is: -% of indirect cost recovery to department -50% of median Chair compensation -Remuneration for faculty UME & grad student teaching effort -All space expense charged to the department

  19. School of Medicine Finances on a More Detailed Level (i.e., so what does all this mean to you?) • Department and discretionary funds: • Includes the PDC transfer (for clinical departments), • gifts, start-up funding. • Clinical departments are now assessed overhead at • a rate of 10% of expenses on these funds to recover overhead charged to the School of Medicine by the University. Basic science departments, centers, and institutes are charged 2%.

  20. What Happens If I Bring In A Gift, And I Want It To Be Directed to My Research? • Is it really a gift or is it a grant? (F&A vs. overhead) • Does Development and Gift Records know about it? • How restricted is it? • Department should deposit funds into a gift code with • you listed as PI • Please consult with your departmental business manager. • (FYI – the School of Medicine has over 17,000 fund codes!!)

  21. Where Do You Go With Questions On: Finance/accounting: Start with your department or division business manager Grants: Your department’s grant manager and the Office of Research Administration. http://research.som.duke.edu
