As I've written previously, I do not get a summer salary.
Would I like more money? Obviously.
I have two options to get a summer salary:
1. teach
2. Write and receive a grant that can include my summer salary.
Many of my colleagues do not seek out summer funding. They then refuse to work in the summer because they aren't being paid. I don't have that luxury. I need to work in the summer to get enough research done.
It is challenging finding funding for a PUI's summer salary. Sure, I can write and hope to get (after two or three re-submits?) a giant grant to Big Funding Agency. But are there other sources of summer money for PUI profs?
