Has anyone on this list had research funding from the Community Fund via a
charity. It appears that as well as being exempt from overheads, like other
charities, the Community Funds does not recognise university terms and
conditions and allows only for a three per cent per annum increase to cover
both increments and cost of living rises. This means that the research group
has to foot the bill for the difference in order to pay for the researchers
to have the same terms and conditions as other staff employed by the
university, as the law requires, quite rightly.
Has anyone else been in this position? How have you dealt with it? Please
reply to me, not the list, and I will summarise any replies I get.
