F & A) from grants is distributed to faculty across the University. Under the new RPC plan,
<b><u>PIs will receive 2% of their F & A taken from the grants</u></b>. The attached document provides more information about this. If this is of interest to you, there are two ways to get involved: 1) provide feedback to the RPC group using this Qualtrics
survey:</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://uarizona.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7Pt3XUfSYxeYch8" title="https://uarizona.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7Pt3XUfSYxeYch8"><span style="color:#1155CC">https://uarizona.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7Pt3XUfSYxeYch8</span></a></span><span class="contentpasted0">.
