Re: Policy on Institutional Instruction/Service and Research Effort Thresholds for Full-time Faculty,
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
Change of Policy, effective July 1, 2008

For full-time faculty supported by permanent General Funds (School and Semel Institute FTE) the minimum effort requirement for Institutional Instruction and Service is 15%.  The maximum corresponding research effort is 85%.  On a case by case basis the Chair can recommend, by written certification, a reduction in Instruction and Service effort to 10% and a proportionate increase in research effort to 90%.  Such proposals are approved by the Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs on an annual basis.

For all other full-time faculty the minimum effort requirement for Institutional Instruction and Service is 10%.  The maximum corresponding research effort is 90%.  On a case by case basis the Chair can recommend, by written certification, a reduction in Instruction and Service effort to 5% and a proportionate increase in research effort to 95%.  Such proposals are approved by the Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs on an annual basis.

Be advised that although you may get approval for a lower teaching effort, the physical and mathematical limits of NIH funding have not changed.  Having too much NIH funding and causing the calculated rate to go over $99,999.99/mo will still cause problems in funding, i.e. by agreement charges on your Comp Plan fund.
