Hello –
We are working on a service agreement for an NIH award. The entity providing the service included a budget showing direct costs plus 10% indirects.
I was curious to know how often you see indirects being charged on service agreements/contracts. Can these indirects be charged back to NIH?
And if you do see indirects charged on a service agreement …do you require additional documentation (i.e. a copy of their rate agreement) to support the indirect % being charged?
Thank you in advance for your thoughts/feedback.
