Illegal or just unethical
0
Three years ago I wrote a grant for my current employer. This was a federal grant that was submitted and awarded to my current employer. I recently learned it is time to apply for the grant again. Instead of them re-writing the grant, they used the exact same information (word for word), removed my name and added their names. Is this okay?

" Is this okay?" - yes. It's done all the time. It's neither illegal nor unethical.

I think the question was did you do this as part of your job, which you answered "yes" - so, you did get paid for it. It's their grant proposal, not yours, per se, I think was the gist of asking that question.
