Teaching Replacement and Distribution of Funds

The general principle is that no teaching cover will be required for the majority of research projects with the academic’s time on the project being covered within their normal workload.

If there are small amounts of teaching cover required this should be covered by the Departmental Grants Group (DGG) return to the department/Principal Investigator (P.I.).

In exceptional cases i.e. where greater than 50% of an academic’s time is being funded on research contracts then a request can be made for the College to fund teaching cover. This can include cases where an academic has to spend greater than 50% of their time on research funded work due to a peak in workload for a specific period during a grant. Requests should be made through the Faculty Deans for approval by the Resources Sub-Group.

How to request bridge funding for a Post Doc or Research Assistant

The College provides bridge funding for circumstances where there is a need to keep a current post doc or Research Assistant  employed on an externally funded grant and whose funding has come to an end on an externally funded grant with a gap until the start of a new award on which the person will be employed. With regards the new award there must be evidence that the award is confirmed.   Bridging funds are for a maximum period of six months.  In such circumstances the  PI  is required to submit the request  through their HoD to the Dean outlining the current situation and giving a clear justification as to why the person needs to be maintained on the new grant  together with evidence that external funding will be available on completion of the bridging funding.  

 The Dean will  submit the request to College Planning and Resources Committee for approval.  You will be informed about the outcome of your request as soon as possible.

Please ensure you submit your request well ahead of the need to  ensure all the relevant information is in place and to allow time for the request to be processed and a decision made.
