Trainee or Fellow Titles on Research Projects:

Research grants/contracts are funded to study a subject area, and costs may be incurred only for the purpose of pursuing project goals. Therefore, the employment of individuals with "trainee" or "fellow" titles is not allowable on research projects because the purpose of the appointment is training of those individuals, rather than furtherance of the research objectives. Funding agencies do not have the authority to grant exceptions to this policy because there are tax implications as well.
