I know that PCORI isn't technically a federal agency, but it seems like the federal government has SOME oversight and that they receive some congressional appropriations. We have a faculty member who wants to include 2 VA personnel on an upcoming PCORI. I've run into putting USDA and VA employees on NIH and DoD projects where those personnel are already paid by the federal gov't and by providing them salary on the grant is essentially double paying them. We have language that we've included in those situations stating, essentially, that.

Basically with that backstory, I'm trying to determine if this is a similar situation where the VA staff won't be able to receive salary from this project, or if this is a non-issue and my colleague and I are making a big deal out of nothing.

As that any questions I ask my leadership, I'm ignored (but that's a whole different conversation), I'm trying to figure out how your institution, department, PIs are tracking the number of submissions they're putting in per year. Are you pulling some sort of a report from your systems? Are you keeping track of them via Excel, are you making it the PI's responsibility (ahahahahahah!) to keep track of their submissions per year?

I'm tired of waiting for my reactive leadership to have something blow up and it be my fault, so I'm out here being proactive to protect my faculty, and I'd like to crowdsource what others are doing. I'm sort of in a weird place at my institution because I don't work SPECIFICALLY for a department and I don't work for the central office. We're an in between shared services model, but I do serve specific departments if that makes sense.

I am desperately looking for a good and authentic affogato in Indy (or doughnut counties). Has anyone had one and can recommend a place? Because if you google affogato and Indy places will pop up and when you look at their menu, it’s not on there.

So recs?
