Up to this point, we have semi-successfully been able to recover our full federal rate of 47% on industry sponsored clinical trials (MTDC).  However, in response to more resistance from the industry and negative feedback from our clinicians, we are in the process of transitioning to the practice that you have described (30% TDC).

Subject: [RESADM-L] F&A Rates for Non-Clinical Corporate Sponsors

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.
