Salary, Stipend, and Rent Rates
A salary cap is defined as a maximum amount or rate of compensation for personal services that a sponsor will reimburse the University on a sponsored program.
As of February 2009, the only agency that establishes salary caps is the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), which includes the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The NIH salary cap is indexed to a specified Executive Pay Level and changes periodically.
Departments are responsible for ensuring compliance with any salary limitations imposed by sponsors.
