Our negotiated id rate has definitions of how and when to apply the off
campus rate.  Off campus definition:
 "For all activities performed in facilities not owned by the institution
and to which rent is directly allocated to the project, the off-campus rate
will apply.  Grants or contracts will not be subject to more than one F & A
cost rate.  If more than 50% of a project is performed off-campus, the
off-campus rate will apply to the entire project."

Subject: [RESADM-L] F&A rate application

This questions is for those who have an F&A rate for on-campus research and
another F&A rate established for a remote leased facility (separate cost
center).  Here is the scenario:  Two researchers decide to submit a
proposal.  One researcher is from the main campus and the other is from the
leased remote facility.  What determines which F&A rate would apply?  Should
it be the main campus rate or the leased remote facility rate.  Is it
allowable to have a project with 2 separate F&A rates? or shall the
determination be set by where the majority of expenses are incurred?  Does
A-21 set parameters for this type of situation?  If so, where?  Any
direction would be appreciated.
