Can a member of the research team be paid an extraordinary remuneration from the dedicated support and under what conditions?

Under Sub-Programmes 1 and 2, exceptional remuneration (for personnel costs specified in points (a) and (b) of point (2), Article 5.4.1 of the Tender documentation) can be paid from the provider's funds (from the earmarked expenditure of the MoH) if the salaries to which the exceptional remuneration is related are paid from sources other than the provider's earmarked funds and at the same time these other sources are indicated in the project proposal.

he total cost of the project will then be higher by these salaries than the costs covered by the provider's special-purpose funding, even for projects carried out exclusively by research organisations. It is not possible to include only exceptional remuneration, without salary (time), in the project proposal. The provider limits the amount of exceptional remuneration to a maximum of EUR 100 000. CZK/employee/year for all projects supported by the provider.

Illustrative example: Mr. Smith is to receive an extraordinary remuneration of CZK 10,000/year from the provider's special-purpose funds, therefore the project proposal must still include funds for his salary/salary – paid from other sources, including the amount of time spent on the project.
