FY 2002 Financial Management Strategy for Extramural Research:To

management” to some of its competing R01 awards beginning in FY 2002.For
more information, go to Commitment

3)NRSA
Training Grants:In
completing an Institutional NRSA budget, visit our NRSA grant hints web
site at http://www.med.ufl.edu/research/nrsahints.html.
If
you indicate the mentors (preceptors) as key personnel on your training
grant proposal, you will need to include the Financial Conflict of Interest
forms on all listed.It is not a
requirement that the mentors are considered key personnel.Also,
when completing the table for the list of mentors, the college would suggest
not showing % effort, instead show the time committed at the end of the
year on the effort report as part of the faculties teaching effort.
In calculating the health insurance for the pre-doc and post-docs we have included an averaged premium rate, this is not required if the trainees have a policy they prefer.Since you can request family health insurance for post-docs, be sure to include enough funds to cover a private insurance policy.Pre and post-docs are not covered under the State of Florida insurance policy.The below chart indicates an average rate (rates are dependent on the age of the pre and post-doc and the number of children the post-doc intends to cover) to include for out of pocket health insurance coverage.http://www.med.ufl.edu/research/fb-ins.html#healthnrsatraininggrant
