I plan to charge 100% Off-Contract Period Effort as specified in this submission. I recognize that this amount of Off-Contract Period Effort and corresponding Off-Contract Compensation are extraordinary and create significant risks of audit findings and disallowed costs. I will not commence 100% Off-Contract Period Effort until I receive written approval for this submission from the Office of Sponsored Programs’ (OSP) Post-Award team (postaward@boisestate.edu).
I certify that I have read and understand the Basics of Charging Costs to a Sponsored Project, including the Off-Contract Compensation section, on OSP's website and will ensure that I comply with all of OSP’s guidance. Further, I have previously discussed my Off-Contract Period Effort plans with my college / departmental administrator identified in this submission. To ensure compliance with university policy and federal regulations, I certify all of the following during the entire Off-Contract Period identified in this submission:
- 100% of my Off-Contract Period Effort will only be on the sponsored project(s) funding my Off-Contract Compensation (i.e., allocable to the sponsored project(s));
- I will not take any leave (e.g., vacation);
- I will not perform any non-sponsored Off-Contract Period Effort, including but not limited to, proposal preparations, department or committee meetings, student advising, class preparations or teaching, or non-sponsored travel;
- All of my travel will only be related or allocable to the sponsored project(s) funding my Off-Contract Compensation; and
- My Off-Contract Compensation will not be paid at a rate in excess of my Institutional Base Salary (IBS).
Additionally, if I desire to perform Off-Contract Extra Service Effort and receive Off-Contract Extra Service Compensation during the Off-Contract Period specified in this submission, I recognize that this creates additional audit risk and scrutiny. Consequently, I certify that I will first coordinate with my college or departmental administrator specified in this submission to prepare and retain (for at least three years after the sponsored project(s) paying my Off-Contract Compensation end(s)) a determination explaining why my Off-Contract Extra Service Compensation is permissible, consistent with the Basics of Charging Costs to a Sponsored Project, including the Off-Contract Compensation section, and Policy 7195, Supplemental Pay. I am aware that Off-Contract Extra Service Compensation may not be paid at a rate in excess of my IBS. In an extremely rare situation where I may desire to pay for my Off-Contract Extra Service Compensation with a sponsored project, I recognize that I will be required to meet in advance with my college / departmental administrator and OSP Post-Award to discuss what is permissible and what documentation may be required.
