Subject: [RESADM-L] reduced fringe
rate and direct charging
Greetings!
Recently the question arose at our University.....If a sponsor is requiring a
mandatory reduction in the indirect cost rate (either full reduction or partial
reduction) can we then allow direct charging of expenses that would normally be
unallowable as a direct charge to sponsored project because they are included in
the indirect cost rate (for example, clerical salary, postage, local telephone
service, etc)?
Please let me know your thoughts or the policy that you follow.
Thanks in advance!
