University of Michigan Produces MICHR Grant F042624 Retro Earnings Distribution and Payroll Transfer Records for Dr. Myria Petrou
MICHR is the University of Michigan's NIH-supported Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program.
Grant F042624 supported Dr. Petrou's MICHR-funded Parkinson disease research project examining cerebellar connectivity, cholinergic denervation, postural instability, and risk of falls.
In May 2026, Dr. Myria Petrou submitted a targeted Freedom of Information Act request seeking records sufficient to determine whether salary support associated with MICHR Grant F042624 had been retroactively adjusted, reversed, or reallocated.
Unlike a broader pending request concerning retrospective salary adjustments and related accounting activity, this request was narrowly limited to records sufficient to identify whether such adjustments occurred, along with the date and amount of any adjustment.
On May 28, 2026, the University of Michigan produced responsive records, including payroll transfer memoranda and retro earnings distribution records associated with Dr. Petrou.

The records include a salary-by-project-grant report associated with MICHR Grant F042624 reflecting off-cycle payroll adjustments processed during September 2017.
The report reflects two negative salary entries of ($3,895.83) and two positive salary entries of $1,863.20, resulting in a net adjustment of approximately ($4,065.26) associated with MICHR Grant F042624.
The University also produced May 2017 and September 2017 payroll transfer memoranda reflecting retro earnings distribution activity involving Dr. Petrou.
The transfer memoranda document retrospective redistribution of salary expenses across University accounting accounts after the original payroll periods had already occurred.

The produced records document retrospective payroll reallocations and salary-distribution adjustments involving Dr. Petrou. The records identify dates, accounting distributions, and associated transfer activity.
The request was limited to records sufficient to determine whether retroactive salary-support adjustments occurred and did not seek explanatory materials regarding the basis for those adjustments.
The records establish that retroactive salary-distribution adjustments occurred.
The basis for those adjustments remains a separate question.
