Facilities and Administrative (F & A) Costs (Indirect Costs)
Facilities and administrative cost rates have been negotiated with the Office of Naval Research for July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2009. Please use the facilities and administrative cost rate indicated below.
The federal government requires that with the exception of clinical and drug trials, and state and local contracts and grants that the same indirect cost rate be charged to nonfederal grants and contracts as is charged to federal grants and contracts. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) assumes that it costs the same to administer and provide facilities for privately sponsored research projects as it does for a federally sponsored project and views a reduced rate as a potential unauthorized subsidy to the private sector.
If the proposed sponsor's policy requires a rate other than those indicated in the table below, apply the sponsor's rate to the total direct costs, unless otherwise stipulated in the sponsor guidelines. Please attach a copy of the sponsor’s guidelines to the CAU proposal routing sheet.
In some cases, a reduction or waiver of indirect costs for reasons other than the policy of the sponsor may be requested. Written justification, including the impact of the proposed effort on the mission of the department or center, for partial or complete waiver of indirect costs must be submitted to RSP with the proposal for review. The request will be reviewed and a recommendation will be made for approval or disapproval by the Vice President for Research and Sponsored Programs.

*Base:Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC) except for Industrial and Commercial Grants and Contracts which will use Total Direct Costs (TDC) as the rate base. MTDC consists of all salaries and wages, fringe benefits, materials and supplies, services, travel, and subgrants and subcontracts up to $25,000 of each subgrant or subcontract (regardless of the period covered by the subgrant or subcontract). MTDC shall exclude equipment, capital expenditures, charges for patient care and tuition remission, rental costs of off-site facilities, scholarships, and fellowships as well as the portion of each subgrant and subcontract in excess of $25,000.
Off Campus:All activities performed in facilities not owned by the institution and to which rent is directly allocated to the project(s) should use the off-campus rate. Grants or contracts will not be subject to more than one indirect cost rate. If more than 50% of a project is performed off-campus, the off campus rate will apply to the entire project.
