  14. RAMSeS Personnel Page 4. Personnel Page: ii. Role Definitions: Lead Principal Investigator: Every proposal must have one (1) Lead Principal Investigator. This individual is responsible for the technical, regulatory and financial aspects of the project. The Lead PI is typically synonymous with the PI on the Grant application.

Principal Investigator: This individual should only be selected if the Sponsor allows for multiple PIs, and must meet all of the criteria for a PI and/or in the instance a lead PI has a dual appointment Postdoctoral Research Associate: This individual has received a doctoral degree and serves on the research project. Fellow: This individual is a student, pre or post-doc applying for a fellowship or support for dissertation research whose mentor is the Lead Principal Investigator on this proposal. Graduate Research Assistant: A post baccalaureate student who serves on the project. Technical Staff: This individual performs standardized or routine measurements, analyses or procedures in support of the research project.

  15. RAMSeS Personnel Page 4. Personnel Page: iii. Effort %: The individual's total effort on the project. Dually Appointed Faculty must split their effort between their multiple appointments. iv. Total Calendar Months: There are three salary bases: Calendar Year CY, Academic Year AY and Summer Term or Summer Month(s) SM CY = 12 months AY = 9 months SM = 3 months *Faculty can work no more than 133% effort in any year; AY effort is a portion of research time or a course buyout v.

  16. RAMSeS Personnel Page 4. Personnel Page: iii. Effort %: The individual's total effort on the project. Dually Appointed Faculty must split their effort between their multiple appointments. iv. Total Calendar Months: There are three salary bases: Calendar Year CY, Academic Year AY and Summer Term or Summer Month(s) SM.

  17. RAMSeS Personnel Page 5. Calculating Effort: i. The % effort for each personnel should match the effort calculated on the internal budget spreadsheet and what is requested of the sponsor. This must be the same. ii. You can leave the % effort blank until effort is confirmed or finalized by the Lead PI in the internal budget spreadsheet.iii. Effort in AY and CY for a lead PI in a single unit (not dually appointed) should be annualized (e.g. 9 x .20 = 1.8 m and 3 x .33 = 1 m; add months 2.8/12 = .233 or 23% effort).

  18. RAMSeS Item List 6. Revisit Item List The “Item List” is a list of pages that must be completed before the proposal can be submitted for institutional approval: 1.
