Helpful Information and Policies

FACULTY RECRUITMENT FUNDING

The Faculty Recruitment Package Policy establishes the amount and the manner in which Chancellorial funding will be provided to the Schools and Colleges for faculty recruitment packages, also known as Initial Complements. This policy applies to General Fund I&R faculty FTE only.

Governing Campus Policy:

The University Of California, Riverside Faculty Recruitment Package Policy -- A Policy on Chancellorial Support for Faculty Recruitment Packages http://ucrapb.ucr.edu/bud_res_analysis/allocation/Faculty%20Recruitment%20Policy%20effective%207_1_06.pdf

Page 10: UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE New Chair Orientation September 19, 2007

Helpful Information and Policies

EXTRAMURAL FUNDS CLASSIFICATION

The University receives extramural funding through a variety of channels, such as gifts, contracts, grants, service agreements, sales and service activities, and agency funds. A policy was developed to aid in the proper classification of all extramural funds received by the Campus and to establish administrative responsibility for the management of extramural funds.

Governing Campus Policy:

Campus Policy Number: 200-45 -- Extramural Fund Classification http://www.vca.ucr.edu/index.php?content=policies/viewPolicies.php&policy=200-45

Helpful Information and Policies

ALLOCATION OF FEDERAL AND PRIVATE LOCAL COST RECOVERY FUNDS

A campus policy governs the allocation of all Federal cost recovery (Opportunity and Off-The-Top Funds), and Private and Local contract and grant cost recovery (Educational Funds) received by the campus. This policy divides the allocation of Opportunity Funds, Off-The-Top Funds, and Education Funds into four groups:

Pre-Group I, II, and III Genomics ICR Set-Aside is a Garamendi-like set-aside for the purpose of funding campus capital investments,

Group I consists of programs which the Office of the President or the Chancellor have mandated be funded with these sources,

Group II consists of those departments which provide direct support to the research effort of the campus, and

Group III consists of Schools and Colleges that engage in research activities that generate Federal and Private/Local indirect cost recovery

Governing Campus Policy:

A Policy for the Allocation of Federal and Private/Local Indirect Cost Recovery Funds (Facilities and Administrative Costs) http://ucrapb.ucr.edu/bud_res_analysis/allocation/NewICRPolicyFY06-07rev11-06.pdf

Helpful Information and Policies

ANNUAL CONTRACT AND GRANT REPORT ON EXPENDITURES

The Annual Report provides information on expenditures, direct and indirect, associated with contracts and grants awarded to the University of California, Riverside (UCR) by non-University entities. These expenditures constitute charges assigned to the contract or grant in order to fully recover expenses incurred by UCR. Information is provided at both the Organization and Department levels.

Helpful Information and Policies

SALE AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES

Sales and Service Activities are non-profit, campus business enterprises, whose functions are to provide quality services and goods at rates that are reasonable and equitable. These enterprises often have a measurable impact on the campus through their pricing and quality decisions, their charging practices, and their billing methods and cycles. While these Sales and Service Activities have the advantage of being campus based, they are simultaneously constrained by University wide and campus policy decisions, such as those related to employee classifications, union contract provisions, salary range adjustments, employee benefits, etc.

Governing Campus Policies:

Campus Policy Number: 300-66 -- Sales & Service Activities: Establishment and Budgetary Review http://www.vca.ucr.edu/index.php?content=policies/viewPolicies.php&policy=300-66
