Ian,
I passed this onto you. If you have a research grant then you have
to sign for things like this. What you have to do this time is just
to sign it to say the goods or whatever have been received.
I used to be able to do this for Nathan's grant, but it seems
I can't now. I am already a signee on all grants, but since recently this
has been restricted to just my grants. I complained about
this, but was told I had to fill in a separate form for each grant!
You should be able to look at this grant on the PMA system as
I can't. But, I bet no-one in SCI Finance knows Nathan has left!
Sorry to drop this on to you. I thought you were a signatory.
Cheers
Phil

Dear Finance people,
Can someone tell me what the conclusion of all this was?
In plain english please.
I've just received an invoice from Reading.
Should I throw it in the bin?
Or pass to someone - if so who.
I am not qualified to sign it, as the expenses are not something I can check.
thanks Ian

Yes and this is exactly what has happened with this grant. All costs for Reading and BAS
were split out in the budget headings. So far there is no spend under these collaborator
"W" headings. It seems to me that any invoices from Reading or BAS not charged to the
"W" headings should be recharged as appropriate, by the school/faculty. Future invoices
from the collaborators should be charged to the appropriate heading, as is the normal
procedure.

Hi ,
Collaborator and coIs are different things in NERC speak.If a PI from UEA and a
CoI from say Reading put their costs on the same
form the CoI's actual DA cost go into the same budget as ours and
have to be split out at award stage by the PI's institution.

Dear All,
(Note my email address is richard.doyle@uea.ac.uk
<[9]mailto:richard.doyle@uea.ac.uk>, I have not received any
previous emails regarding this sent to r.doyle@uea.ac.uk
<[10]mailto:r.doyle@uea.ac.uk>)
The collaborator costs are under the following headings:
Staff - WS
Travel and Subsistence - WT
Indirect and Estates - WI
Invoices can be charged by the PI to these headings. Any
invoices from Reading or BAS not charged under these headings
should be recharged. I can send out copies of the subcontracts
if required - let me know.
If there are any further queries please let me know.
Regards,
Richard

Dear All
It is not as simple as transferring money from one heading
to another.
All monies under DA (Directly Allocated) budgets go
automatically to the School. All DI (Directly Incurred)
budgets are those which are available for spend by the PI.
Invoices cannot, therefore, be charged against DA budgets.
I am surprised that Lesley Gray was written in under DA
costs surely these should have gone under DI costs? I
note that there is a heading on this account for
Collaborators staff costs - is this budget by any chance
related to Lesley Grays costs?
Regards
Elly

Hi Janice,
Thanks very much for looking into this - it sounds like
you're well on the way to sorting this out. The earlier
invoice has been paid already from the consumables budget of
the project - it was for £3436.89 and I think this was all
DA costs for Lesley Gray. I think the payment was authorized
by Phil Jones sometime in August. If possible could we get
the consumables budget reimbursed with these DA costs?
Thanks very much,
Nathan

Hi,
Well Christine Webster just brought another invoice from
Reading for DA costs to me to sign. It is :
£679.47 for period 1.6.08 to 31.8.08
Invoice No 94180
Apparently SCI Fin were aware but had not until now set
up codes to pay them from..However neither Christine nor
I have seen the invoice that you are chasing which is an
earlier one . If any one has it please let me know and it
can be processed.
Janice

Dear Richard,
It seem that UEA may have pocketed the DA costs for
Reading in this contract rather than passing it on to
them. I have copied this to Laura too.Can you look into
this please as we don't want to pay Exeter out of the
UEA DI money.
Thanks,
Janice

Hi Janice,
Thanks for the reply. I checked the proposal, see
attached, and there is a £5736 cost estimate for Lesley
Gray's salary costs (pg 5). On pg 4 this is listed under
'Directly allocated: Investigators' - so we did include
this funding in the proposal. This money must have been
paid to someone - either Reading or UEA. If UEA has not
been paid this money, then perhaps it has been paid to
Reading by NERC. If UEA has been paid this money, then
there must be a mechanism for paying investigators'
costs under FEC to other institutions - other projects
must be in a similar situation. We definitely did not
budget for this money to come out of the consumables budget.
Cheers,
Nathan

Dear Nathan,
We cannot spend indirect costs as that money does not
come in to ENV accounts.

Hi Janice,
I just wanted to check again that that invoice from
Reading for £3436.89 has been adquately dealt with.
I got the email below suggesting this had been paid
out of consumables, but I'm pretty sure this is FEC
costs for Lesley's time on the project, and
therefore should have come out of project overheads,
not consumables. In the proposal we budgeted for
Lesley's FEC costs to come out of overheads rather
than consumables. If this is impossible to change
now, then no problem - but if possible, it would be
good to keep this on overheads rather than running
down funds available for travel and consumables for
the rest of Alexey's time on the project. Either
way, could you let me know how this has been dealt with?
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Janice, Phil,
I just wanted to check that this invoice was for
consumables (e.g. not Lesley's time on the project,
which should come out of overheads), and is
consistent with the contract worked out with
Reading. When we wrote the proposal, I included some
FEC costs for Lesley's time on the project, as well
as some travel support - but I don't think we agreed
to fund consumables in Reading.
Cheers,
Nathan

Dear Nathan
Phil Jones has arranged for us to pay an invoice to
Reading for costs on
this project for the period 01.03.07-31.05.08. This
has taken the
consumables budget slightly over spent. You may need
to consider viring
some money fron travel to consumables if you plan
further consumable
spending. I have attached a form in case you need
to do this.
