The SLU School of Medicine (SOM) removes barriers to accessing AHEAD services by providing a generous subsidy to SOM departments.
SOM departments are billed $75 per hour for AHEAD services, and SOM subsidizes the remainder of the cost at $75 per hour. Please note that this subsidy is available only to departments within SOM.
All primary investigators utilizing AHEAD services are responsible for confirming departmental funding throughout the research project. At any time, should departmental funding become unavailable, the primary investigator is responsible for informing AHEAD personnel, and we will work alongside you to explore other funding opportunities.
AHEAD services for internal SLU grants, including the Health 浪花直播 Grant and the President鈥檚 浪花直播 Fund, are billed at $150 per hour.
External grants can budget AHEAD services at either $150 per hour or as percent effort salary support for a specific analyst.
Percent effort salary support must be greater than or equal to 5%. The optimal way to fund analytic time is grant-dependent and will be discussed in the initial consultation with AHEAD personnel.
