In December 2022, the University of California and employees represented by the United Auto Workers (UAW) reached new collective bargaining agreements (opens in new window) for represented postdoctoral scholars and academic researchers (opens in new window) and academic student employees and graduate student researchers.

Contracts and Grants Accounting, the Office of Sponsored Research, and UCSF Human Resources are creating a new video-based presentation to help research administrators address how to handle funding under the new bargaining agreements.
This one-hour recorded presentation will be available in early December 2023 and will cover:
- key changes due to the bargaining agreements
- affected title codes
- the funding process for postdocs and fellows
- stipend vs salary compensation in UCPath
- best practices for the post award management and monitoring of sponsored projects
Live Q&A sessions will be offered via Zoom in January 2024, to provide a forum for research administrators to ask follow-up questions after the presentation.
We strongly encourage all research administrators with responsibility for proposal development, budgeting, UCPath payroll funding setup, and post award management to watch the recorded presentation and attend a follow-up Q&A session.
Look for additional information in the December Controller’s Office Newsletter and in the RA Town Hall channel of the Research Administration team. If you have questions, contact [email protected].
