Graduate Assistantship Stipends - FY2008

NOTE: THE FIGURES GIVEN BELOW ARE FOR PROPOSAL BUDGETING AND PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. DEPARTMENTS SHOULD NOT USE THESE FIGURES FOR GA CONTRACTS UNTIL NOTIFIED BY THE GRADUATE SCHOOL ASSISTANTSHIP OFFICE THAT THEY ARE AUTHORIZED TO DO SO.

The standard GA assistantship is one-half time (50%). Proposal budget spreadsheets should be set up to use the full-time (100%) rate at 0.5 effort.

A graduate assistant supported by an external grant is paid the rate of the unit of the principal investigator. Units without established rates pay the rate of the unit in which the student is enrolled. Stipend rates for FY2008 (July 1, 2007 - June 30, 2008) are listed below.

To assist budgeting for grant proposals, we also have posted rates for FY2009 (July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2009), which incorporate a 6% increase, and rates for FY2010 (July 1, 2009 - June 30, 2010), which incorporate a 4% increase. Multiple-year grants already awarded may be grandfathered in if the PI can show that he/she does not have sufficient grant funds to cover the increase for the upcoming years.

Principal investigators will also need to budget in 25% of the Primary Care Fee for each semester the GA will be employed in FY2009 and 50% of the Primary Care Fee for each semester the GA will be employed in FY2010. By our best estimate, the relevant budget figures for proposals will be about $46 for fall semester 2008, $46 for spring semester 2009, $32 for summer semester 2009, $91 for fall semester 2009, $91 for spring semester 2010, and $63 for summer semester 2010.

Postdoctoral fellows: The minimum stipend for postdocs is the 100% doctoral rate for graduate assistants in the same department or college.
