We calculate base and F&A on modular grants as follows:

- DC requested -- the modular amount -- in blocks of 25,000.
- F&A exclusions: we subtract from above number whatever is excluded in
the calcuation of F&A as per our negoitated rate (for ex, tuition,
equipment etc )
- F&A base: Module DC minus exclusions

Subject: [RESADM-L] modular grants

I would appreciate some help on calculating the base and indirect cost
for modular grants.  When completing the checklist page for modular
grants, should the base be actual costs we've calculated or the cost
rounded up to the nearest 25K.  For example, if the cost for the project
is 48,000, should the base cost be 48,000 or 50,000?  And should the
indirect cost be calcuated on the actual cost (48K) or 50K?
