Subject: Indirect Cost Increase

Hello -
My institution's indirect cost rate recently increased by 8% (!).
Thanks to advice from a fellow List-server I found out that NIH will
entertain requests for increased funding when indirect cost rates
increase by 3% or more.  I'm currently gathering the financial info I
need for the request, but the letter will be written and sent by our
CFO.  He asked me if I had a sample letter (which of course I don't).
So once again I'm turning to the List-serve to see if any of you can
offer me help.  Feel free to respond off-line - xxxxxx@lrri.org.
Thanks!!
