You can count direct costs only in your F&A computation.

Subject: [RESADM-L] How to you assess F&A on subcontracts?

We are having a discussion on how to assess F&A on subcontracts.

Question:
You have a subcontract for a total of $30,000. Of this amount $20,000 is
direct costs and $10,000 is the subcontract institution's F&A. Would you
assess your F&A (as the prime institution) on only the $20,000 of direct
costs or would you assess your F&A on the allowed $25,000 (our
negotiated F&A agreement states we can assess F&A to the first $25,000
of the subcontract)?

Thanks to all who will reply. It is a policy question here and we are
trying to see how other institutions handle the assessment of F&A on
subcontracts.

Thanks!
