Jennifer:

We do the same at our institution.  We have a rate for clinical trials,
but for non-clinical projects the full federal rate is applied.

Our F&A Rates for clinical trials is a separate rate than that of
non-clinical research sponsored by corporate sponsors.  For example, a
clinical trial sponsored by Jansen is 25% TDC, but a non-clinical
project is the full federal rate of 46%.

Is this the practice at your institution?  I'm just trying to get a
feel for how common this is.  I have a researcher that's pretty
disgusted about our policy and I was curious if it's common or standard.
 It's the first time I've run into it.
