For 2007-2008, Southeastern is currently using a fringe rate of 30% for academic and summer salaries. Additional duties for faculty/staff should also use this fringe rate.  A minimum of 8.65% should be included for part-time staff.  For multi-year proposals, increase fringe by 1.5% for each subsequent year. 

The limit on Purchase Requisitions that must be approved by OSRP prior to submission is $1,000 as of July 1, 2007.

Southeastern's congressional/legislative information changed with the Fall 2006 elections.  The following is a list of current representatives:

Southeastern is now audited as part of the ULL System.  For agencies that require a copy of Southeastern's latest audit, you can use the Southeastern Management Letter dated December 20, 2006 and the ULL System Basic Financial Statements and Independent Auditor's Reports as of and for the year ended June 30, 2006 from the Louisiana Legislative Auditor's web site.  Audit information from previous years is also archived on the Louisiana Legislative Auditor's web site. 

Southeastern's Office of Sponsored Research and Programs has developed a Match Checklist of sample In-Kind and Cash match items to assist new (and seasoned) individuals account for a greater degree of match in the preparation of grant proposals.  When match is required, you may want to use some of these items to demonstrate the University's commitment to your project.  If match is not required, it is best NOT to include in your proposal.  Please keep in mind that all match must be properly documented.  

Southeastern's Office of Sponsored Research and Programs has developed a Principal Investigator’s Project/Program Closeout Checklist.  As your project/program nears its end, use this handy list to review tasks required to finalize the administrative portion.  

As new budgets are set up for sponsored activities, PIs will be required to sign a Principal Investigator Agreement regarding reporting procedures.  

As of July 1, 2004, Southeastern Louisiana University began using the federally negotiated indirect rate of 44% of salaries and wages, excluding fringe (including graduate assistant stipend and student worker wages).  This rate will be in effect through 6/30/08.  Keep in mind that the indirect allowed may be agency specific, so always check the guidelines.
