Thank you John!  I appreciate your response....the information that I've been receiving and have located via list serv seems to be in line with the "tail" as well.

At UMKC, right now recovered F&A is split as follows:

•        50% to campus (40% to research office)

•        50% to academic unit that generated it

o 20% generally kept by Dean’s office

o 30% generally passed to Department to be split between Dept. and PI

I emphasize right now as there are discussions that may change it. As you probably could guess, the issue of splitting F&A generally follows other budget decisions. Given those discussions at UMKC, there may be changes in the future.

By the way, about a year ago I did a quick email poll on sharing of F&A over a research officers’ list serve. The responses regarding institutional sharing/distribution practices were all over the map, which emphasizes to me that it is the tail, not the dog, in campus budget matters.

Subject: [RESADM-L] University Indirect Cost Allocation...
Importance: High

Happy New Year Everyone!  Thanks to all of you who have been such a big help to me since July 2007 when I took on the Gigantic task of developing a Grants and Sponsored Programs office at my university!

I am in the process of developing a proposal for university indirect cost allocation.  One of the primary aspects of this proposal will focus on the how indirect cost can be used as a motivating factor in increasing faculty research participation.  I would like to have a fairly large pool of actual data/information from universities (who can certainly remain anonymous) to include in the proposal.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!
