Reminders
Reminder
-
Due to time and effort reporting, consulting while employed 100% on a federal grant during the summer is not allowed on time owed to the University. Consulting work must be completed on time not owed to the University (i.e., evenings, weekends, etc.) and must be documented in the comments section when completing the online faculty consulting request form.
-
Consulting is requested based on the fiscal year and cannot cross the fiscal year. As of July 1, a new request needs to be submitted for consulting that crosses the fiscal year.
For Storrs based faculty, if you are consulting between May 23 and August 22 on time not due to the University, those consulting jobs are noted as zero days of consulting.
Consulting is a time honored and frequent activity of faculty throughout U.S. research universities.
The ability to consult is important in promoting recruitment and retention of faculty of the highest quality. Often, such consulting activities provide a range of benefits including fostering economic development, enhancing the reputation of the University, promoting faculty development and enhancing the faculty's ability to bring to the classroom current and relevant "real world" experiences, among others.Consulting is an activity performed by a faculty member for compensation as a result of his/her expertise or prominence in his/her field while not acting in his/her official capacity as a State employee (i.e. in his/her own time.) The University's Laws and Bylaws prohibit faculty from consulting on "time due to the University."
