| Postdoctoral Fellow Supplement | CF |

| Reader's Fees | DR |
Payments to employees for proofreading various documents or manuscripts. | SPOT |
| Research Fellow Supplement | DN |
To supplement a research fellowship award for the purpose of supporting the individual in the fellowship's pursuit. (For example, a DLC may wish to provide additional funds to a fellow whose stipend amount is below that which the DLC determines to be a minimum amount.) Since research fellows cannot perform services for MIT, a fellowship supplement must be funded by either fellowship money or discretionary/Institute money; not a non-fellowship WBS. Important Note: When services are to be rendered by the research fellow, an appointment (in addition to the fellowship award) - not a supplement - should be processed. An academic appointment form should be completed to set up a concurrent appointment as a postdoctoral associate (PDA) with the relevant percent effort. The combined effort of the PDF award and the PDA appointment cannot exceed 100%. If the combined effort does exceed 100%, the effort of the PDF award will be reduced by the HR Payroll Service Center. This reduction in effort has no impact on the fellow's stipend amount. |
