Hi all,
Junior faculty on a K - this is not directly impacting me at the moment, but who knows...
We have several health services studies that buy out/protect clinician time for non-reimbursable activities that are essential to the intervention. Not PCORI.
We have hospital admin who is saying physicians and other clinicians on these grants need to "make up" these hours with clinical service "elsewhere." Elsewhere would be... other grant protected time. All are salaried - not RVU. Salaries at the NIH cap.
Wouldn't this be fraud?
For context - this is admin pushing to make up 1-2 hours a week. Were really penny pushing here.
All involved think this is outrageous and this will be handled by higher ups in research admin.... but I want to educate myself.
