How to request for a pay rise?

I am a TT faculty in STEM at an R2 school in the US. I just learned a colleague who was hired a year later than me, and with less top papers and overall experience than me, is making $20K more per year. I can’t blame him for successfully negotiating his salary up, something I have long suspected I failed to do big time when I was hired. I wonder if it would be feasible to ask for a pay rise, given the fact I have got two top papers and two NSF grants as a PI in the last two years. The simplest solution would be to test the job market once it opens in October, but my family really likes the area and the fact it is close to home.

I think it is.  Lay out the numbers for your admin and let them know how much you bring in total to the University and how much in indirect costs you bring in.  If writing grants is not required for your position, let them know you are done writing grants until your salary is rectified.
