The Executive Level I annual salary rate was $197,900 for the period January 1 through December 31, 2009. Effective January 1, 2010, the Executive Level I salary level increased to $199,700. Any faculty or staff paid from an NIH grant are subject to this limitation, and any salary or wages which exceeds the cap must be cost shared.
