Biggest Year-over-Year Increases
2009 → 2010

No qualifying raises were computed for the 2010 Sunshine List.

A year-over-year increase or decrease in disclosed pay can include overtime, a retroactive payment, a vacation payout or severance, not only a change in base pay, rate, or role — the Sunshine List discloses total salary paid that year, not a pay rate. This list is ranked by the dollar increase, not by the percentage shown.

17 people were new to Research & Innovation's list in 2010; 5 who were on it in 2009 were not. See the full 2010 roster →
