Re: F & A rate as Directs on subs Don Schmigel 24 Feb 2004 12:44 EST
There is, however, precedent at NIH for the indirect costs of the sub-recipient not being counted against the direct costs of the prime recipient, as in the case of Program Project Grants. When this happens it is normally indicated in the PA. Donald P. Schmigel Executive Director Children's Research Institute Children's National Medical Center 111 Michigan Avenue, N.W.

The problem is not that subcontractor F&A are considered direct costs . . . the problem is that so many RFAs now have limited direct and/or total costs. If you have multiple institutions participating (as many of the RFAs also require), the amount left to be divided for direct costs gets very small. Debbie Smith Deborah (Debbie) L. Smith, Ed.D.
