Hi folks,

Quick question:
If we are developing a 5-year budget, and included in that budget is a
subaward to another institution (let's say it's a total of $250,000 over
the entire 5-year project period), is my institution allowed to take
indirect costs from the first $25k for each project year, or only the
entire project period?

Our institution tends to do one year contracts on such multiyear projects
for subcontracts, and renew them each year; however, my argument is that
the project is one large scope of work for a multiyear period, and as
such, we should only take indirects from the first $25k for the total five
year cost of the subaward.

I would appreciate everyone's take on this.

Thanks!
Scott
