Re: Additional Indirect Costs on Grants Cappellucci, James E. 13 Oct 2009 11:35 EST
Are you increasing the f&a on existing grants, taking direct from the budget to cover?

I work at a 501c3 governed by A110. We operate under a provisional indirect cost rate, which is negotiated yearly. After several years of fairly consistent rates we have now had two years in a row with substantial increases. Does anyone know of agencies that will allow requests for additional funding to cover increased indirect costs on grants? I know NIH does not allow such requests, although we do have authority to rebudget between direct and indirect costs to cover the new rate. We recently got a Department of Energy grant and the question has come up, but I didn't find anything in DOE's terms and conditions that specifically addresses this issue. Since we aren't an educational institution we don't have to grandfather projects at the awarded rate (sadly for my PI's - the difference between proposed rate and our newest provision rate will be over 10% for some of them). Any guidance is appreciated.
