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!
