If an employee under a Tribal Partnership Grant works full-time for one Tribe under the partnership grant and part-time for another Tribe under the same partnership grant, would it be acceptable to cover that employee's salary for each Tribe? Or should the employee's hours be covered under the costs for the lead Tribal nation?
You have the option to split your costs across the two organizations, if you choose, but like the response above on indirect costs – you need to ensure that you have costs in the right cost category.
Therefore, in the proposed project’s budget, your costs as associated with the lead organization would be captured in the cost categories of ‘personnel’ and ‘fringe’ (if applicable). Your costs as associated with the partnering organization would be captured as part of your overall subaward under the cost category of ‘other’.
