Research Awards
Personnel & Equipment
Personnel
- Please provide requested salaries for personnel and in a separate line item please account for all institutional requirements for fringe benefits such as health insurance, unemployment, etc. and include percentage increases chargeable to the grant by year, if applicable.
- Be certain to account for the institution's 'cost of living' salary adjustments in the justification narrative when applicable.
- JSMF neither has restrictions on the number of applications requesting support nor the number of awards that can be given to an institution for collaborative projects, as long as JSMF program guidelines are followed. Your budget must clearly communicate the collaborative effort to include such items as salaries, equipment and supplies for all participating scientists at each institution. If you are including the payment of salaries as part of the budget, please note that salaries requested must be based upon the grantee institution's pay scale.
Equipment
The Foundation realizes that pricing equipment items for future years can be difficult to project--provide a best estimate. Equipment purchased by an institution with JSMF funds for the Researcher to conduct the research, is the property of the grantee institution. Investigators planning to transfer to another institution or intending to take equipment off-site, must request approval from the appropriate institutional office.
