They actually want the "other sponsored activities" rate of 31.6%. I don't know why they are so set on not bringing money into the university. They fight this every single time.

Subject	[RESADM-L] Explanation of off campus rates and when they are applicable

We're having some discussions on campus about when it is appropriate to use our federally negotiated off campus F&A rate. I would really appreciate reviewing some institutional descriptions of when the off campus rate is applicable and any examples that you might use to support your policy. Faculty here have been making some very broad interpretations of when the off campus rate is applicable and we need to be able to provide some examples of what is appropriate and what is not.

Just fyi, our F&A rate agreement does not provide a very good explanation of when the off campus rate is applicable.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
