太阳2注册平台暑期工资

When supplemental summer salary is allowed by the funding agency (e.g., NSF), it should be calculated at a rate of one-ninth of your annual salary per month of summer salary (and prorated for fractions of a month devoted to summer research). NSF sets a maximum of two-ninths of annual salary for summer salary.

Generally speaking, you should project an estimated 4.0% annual increase when calculating summer salary. This is not a commitment on the part of the College to increase salaries at this level, and indeed salary from grants cannot exceed the actual salary level established by the College.

The 2024 student summer research stipend is $6,500 for 10 weeks participation.  In your grant proposal, request the maximum amount for each student: $6,500. This assumes participation for the full 10 weeks. If you know in advance that a student will work less than 10 weeks, pro-rate the budget request – for example, $5,200美元,8周(每周$650).

NB: in order to pay students by stipend, the PI must attest that the research is an educational experience.  Otherwise, the student will be paid as an hourly employee with 8% FICA withheld.
