Good morning and Happy Friday!  At my previous institution we were very strict on applying the maximum allowable IDC to all sponsored programs.  The only exception (as we had very strong ties to industry) was for Phase 1 SBIR / STTR proposals where we only charged 26%.  Industry partners on contracts or Phase 2 and higher SBIR / STTR projects were charged our full IDC.

Have a great weekend!  Kirsten

Good morning,

 

At PSU if we want any waiver on F&A it must be formally requested through our OSP AVP.  There is no dollar threshold.  In addition, units/PIs are expected to contribute back to the VPR 50% of what the VPR agrees to waive.  Industry is charged a 5% premium above our NICRA rate and I’ve never know that to be waived. Do any of your institutions charge an industry premium? It makes for some interesting conversations.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Question: Do you have a policy/practice on waiving IDC on small dollar projects

 

We have received several requests from PIs that we waive or reduce the IDC on small dollar projects.  I am inquiring to see if any institutions have such a policy or practice, written or unwritten and if you do, what is the dollar threshold?

Thank you,

David
