When is it OK to charge administrative staff salaries to research grants (ie. R01’s, R03, R21’s, Supplements, etc.) It was always my understanding that these charges were covered under F&A and therefore should not be included as a direct charge to research grants. The exception to this is only when there are large administrative demands from the award\ (ie. conference grants, large consortium projects, etc). Please advise.

Please see the SPA website for direct charging of administrative and clerical salaries to federal awards https://www.umaryland.edu/spa/budgets-and-expenses/guidelines-by-budget-category/administrative-expenses/
