This allows us to allocate values, such as project budget, among the academics involved.
Each proposal submission (including subprojects) must have credit applied across its investigators totalling 100%:
- each project should be allocated some of the percentage credit
- credit per project should only be applied to academics based in the same department as the project
- the percentage credit is not necessarily representative of time spent on a project
If a proposal is awarded, the percentage credit will feed through into the award in ICIS Grants. This can be amended as necessary as long as the award total is 100%.
For projects (under the umbrella of the award) where the total may be less than 100%, the project is apportioned according to the percentage applied.
For example, a project has three investigators with credit percentages of 15%, 5% and 0% respectively.
While this only totals 20% of the total award credit, 100% of the project values will be shared between those investigators with credit, as follows: 15% (of the project 20%) will give 75% project apportionment, 5% (of the project 20%) will give 25% apportionment and 0% will have none.
Where no credit has been given on a project at all, the project will be apportioned equally among all active investigators.
