Effective immediately please note these changes in data entry requirements for non-key personnel on non S2S submissions on the InfoEd Personnel and Budget tabs.

Personnel Tab
Data entry of named and to be named (TBN) staff on non key personnel staff on non S2S submissions is no longer required. For example, if you have a named research coordinator or a TBN technician, do not data enter these lines on the Personnel tab.

Budget Tab
On the Budget tab, rather than individually adding the costs associated with each position,  enter the cumulative total of non key personnel salaries in the "Salaries & Wages" line and the cumulative total of  non key personnel fringe in the "Fringe Benefits" line.

The "Salaries & Wages" and "Fringe Benefits" options are included  with the rest of the direct cost options such as "Consultant Costs," "Animal Costs," "Travel-Domestic," "Other Costs," etc.

Here is an example of data entry.  If the cumulative total of your research coordinator and post doc salary is 100,000, enter 100,000 in "Salaries and Wages."  If the cumulative total of the fringe is 30,000, enter 30,000 in "Fringe Benefits."

Feel free to review these definitions for additional clarification.

Non-Key Personnel
These are individuals who do not contribute to the scientific development or execution of a project in a substantive, measurable way. This is regardless of whether or not they receive salaries or compensation from the sponsored project. Typically post docs, research assistants, and technicians are considered non-key personnel.

Non S2S Submissions
This is a type of InfoEd submission in which Mount Sinai uses InfoEd internally at ISMMS only and not to submit an application to an extramural funding agency.  Examples are NIH non-competitive continuations, a new grant to the American Heart Association, or a non competitive continuation of an unfunded project using animal cell lines.

We hope this reduction of data entry will relieve some of the administrative burden associated with the submission process. Please contact the GCO with any questions you may have.
