2 10a

No individual trainee may receive more than 5 years of aggregate NRSA support at the predoctoral level or 3 years of support at the postdoctoral level, including any combination of support from institutional training grants and individual fellowship awards.

2 148

In most cases, travel expenses and training related expenses are provided to each trainee to be used for travel and purchases such as lab supplies, books, etc., as long as the expense benefits the training of the trainee. All expenses against the training grant MUST be approved by the PI AND the mentor of the trainee.

2 73

Stipends may be supplemented with non-Federal funds and do not require additional effort from the trainee.

2 4b

Shared Services

2 15b

The Department of Microbiology provides research support services for Principal Investigators through a cost-sharing mechanism. These services include in-house technical support, service contracts for shared equipment, maintenance of shared equipment including parts and supplies, dry ice, liquid nitrogen, and biohazard trash disposal.
85 Shared services are applied to budgets according to budgeted FTEs. Your Grants Manager will include these fees automatically.

Each one of these categories can be selected and edited individually.

For example, if you are adding or updating contact information, the screen will give fields for contact type, address, phone, etc. Once you have entered the information into the fields, you can hit the ‘Save Changes’ button at the bottom of the screen and your information will be updated in the system. The changes that you make will be reflected on your faculty web bio 24 hours later. The information that is featured on your individual faculty page is from the following FEDS categories: 21
- Biographical Information
- Contact Information
- Education
- Postgraduate Training
- Appointments (Penn Faculty Appointments)
- Publications (10 will be listed on your bio page – instructions on how to select these 10 to follow below)
