BRIEF

Policy Summary

This policy provides guidelines for accounting for the cost of compensation above the allowable limits for Sponsored Research agreements at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). Compensation for researchers working on Sponsored Research agreements may be subject to limitations by federal law or provisions in specific Sponsored Research agreements. Most commonly, compensation limits apply to all Department of Health and Human Services agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Food and Drug Administration. The cost of salaries and wages in excess of the limitations are unallowable under the University of California-Department of Energy Prime Contract (Contract 31) and must be covered by non-federal funds.
