Thank you, Andrew.  I think this will help us draft our policy.

Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] F & A Waiver Policy

Lisa,

We waive the F&A if the sponsor has written guidelines, which we must
have a copy of. Also, there is a sliding scale of how distribution works
here at UAF, with a "fee" assessed to the originating unit for F&A rates
that fall below 10%. You can see the memo of how that works on our
website, with a list of programs that are exempt from the fee:
http://www.uaf.edu/osp/policy/under-recovery.pdf

We rarely allow voluntary reduced F&A, but we have a form for requesting
it and/or waiving the 9% fee I mentioned above:

Hope this helps you out!

Sincerely,
Andrew
