For NRSA Training Grants or Fellowships, is the $100 lump sum payment made to Academic Student Employees (ASEs) as part of the 2018 negotiated agreement an allowable cost?

No. NRSA Trainees or Fellows are not employees and as such receive a stipend and not compensation. This payment is considered to be compensation (charged to Object Code 01-80) and Trainees/Fellows cannot receive compensation. If this cost has been allocated to a NRSA Trainee or Fellowship Award, it must be removed from this Award and allocated to another department budget.
