Ah, but avarice clouds the mind, you see.

Of course we are able to waive/share the F&A; I wasn't planning on going to the mattresses with NSF on this one, just wondering if others had stumbled on it before and done differently.

Sorry to burden the list with such administrative trivialities!

Keith,

I would not nitpick on the F&A for an REU.  If the subcontract is already in place, it's just a matter of an amendment.  It's only about $750 in F&A, I would share it if you can figure out how to do the paperwork or just let the Sub have it.  An REU is a good thing, I wouldn't nickle and dime it.

My question: What to request for the F&A costs for both schools?  (We haven't reached the $25,000 threshold for F&A on the sub.)
