If you have a signed multiple year rate agreement in effect at the time of
award, you can charge the negotiated rate pertinent to each year of the
award.  If the multiple year rate agreement were signed after the award, you
would be restricted to whatever rate was in effect at the time of the award,
for the life of the award.

Greetings!

Quick question...A-21 G.7. on Fixed rates for the life of the sponsored
agreement - if you have a negotiated indirect cost rate agreement that
provides for increases each year (example 41%, 41.5%, 42%, 42.5%), what
rate do you use for multi-year proposals? Can you use the rate that will be
applicable for each year, or must you use the rate the will be applicable
for the first year for all subsequent years?

I have heard this both ways...looking for clarification...

Thanks!
