We are submitting a couple of research proposals to the Institute of
Education Sciences of the US Dept of Ed.  The RFA states that:

"The Institute anticipates that the majority of the research will be
conducted in field settings and many of the other activities will be
conducted off-campus.  Hence, the applicant is reminded to apply its
negotiated off-campus indirect cost rate, as directed by the terms of
the applicants negotiated agreement."

We are a PUI with one federally-negotiated rate.  I have interpreted
that as something that applies to all research at our institution, both
on and off campus.  I would appreciate advice from this group about that
interpretation as well as advice about where I could find documentation
to help me back up this interpretation.

Are there PUIs out there with two rates?  What is the basis for it?

Thanks in advance.
