Steve’s citation is accurate.  The logic is this:  When you get full F&A, you are already being reimbursed for space in the “F” part of F&A.  If you then show it as cost sharing, the space is being counted twice in the same budget.  In effect, you’d be double-dipping.

See OMB Circular A-21 Section C11 which reads in part “…Further, no final cost objective shall have allocated to it as a direct cost any cost, if other costs incurred for the same purpose, in like circumstances, have been included in any F&A cost pool to be allocated to that or any other final cost objective.”

Subject: [RESADM-L] Cost sharing space

 

Hello all-

I am looking for a specific citation/source that states that space that is included in an organization’s overhead rate may not be used as cost share on a proposal where full overhead is charged. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Maureen
