May 20, 2025: Release Notes
IBS Calculation Updates in SAGE Budget
Due to the July 1, 2025 Institutional Base Salary (IBS) definition changes announced at MRAM, SAGE Budget has been updated. SAGE Budget will no longer default to include the administrative and endowed supplements in the base salary calculation for personnel entries.
Users can still view the supplements in Monthly Base Salary Details, identified as Allowance in the Compensation Plan column. In cases where the sponsor will allow supplements in proposals, users can manually select the supplements for inclusion.
For budgets with pre-existing personnel entries, the data will not be changed. However, users can choose to refresh the personnel base salary for each individual by selecting the refresh icon in the right side panel for personnel entries.
