Re: Really Quick IDC Question! Moreland, Kim 04 Jul 2003 23:40 EST
Gary, Thanks for the response. We don't actually rebudget either, just allow the overexpenditures. We're losing about $1M/year in lost indirects so we're contemplating a change. Hope you've had a good 4th!

What does your institution do when a PI reallocates budget funds from a category like equipment, which is excluded from indirect costs, into a category like supplies, on which indirect costs are earned? (1) Leave the total direct costs at the level awarded, even though you would not be able to recover the full indirect costs earned? OR (2) Move the associated indirect costs in relation to the direct costs, thus moving within the total costs awarded (rather than just within total directs?
