At UMKC the formula is as follows: Recovered IDC is distributed as
follows:

50% to University: 1/3 of this amount goes to Graduate Faculties and
Research, within which the Sponsored Programs and Research office is
located

50% to School: this amount is then divided between the Dean, Department
Chair and Investigator according to formulas worked out by each School

Subject: [RESADM-L] Indirect cost allocation

Hello all-
I'm conducting an informal survey of the various policies regarding
indirect
cost allocation.  We're researching the feasibility flowing back of a
portion of these funds to internal research, and I was wondering how
other
institutions allocate their recovered IDC.
If funds flow back to fund research, what percentage is returned and
what is
kept for institutional overhead costs?
How are these flow-back funds allocated within the research structure,
i.e.
a general research fund, department fund, individual PI support?
How is the spending of recovered IDC funds monitored and by whom?

Any guidance you can give me will be very helpful.  We're starting to
firm
up our practices into formal policies, and I'd like to create a good
foundation to work from.
Thanks,
Amy
