Negotiated F&A Cost Rate - Research versus Instruction Thelen, Erik 12 Aug 2005 16:14 EST

Our rate agreement (negotiated with HRSA) states that our on and
off-campus rates apply to Organized Research.  I expect that several
other institutions are in the same boat:  they have no negotiated rate
for Instruction.

What rate does your institution charge on Instruction grants in cases
where the sponsor does not stipulate a rate (e.g. ED at 8%)?   I'm not
talking here about training projects that use research facilities.  Do
you use your Organized Research rate?  As it happens, we charged and
were awarded our negotiated (Organized Research) rate in an Instruction
grant.  We (and apparently the sponsor) assumed that since we only had
one rate, that's the one we should charge.

Comments?
