Angela,
Larger institutions have different rates for research, education and public service. Small institutions like ours only have one negotiated rate for all activities and it will be stated as such in the agreement with DHHS. You should forward your indirect agreement to your program officer and let them know that you only have one rate and if they have questions about that they should consult with your DHHS contact.
Thanks,
Magui

Subject: [RESADM-L] An "educational" indirect cost rate?

An NSF DUE program officer asked one of our faculty members if our
college has an educational indirect rate that differs from our research
rate.  I have never heard of such a thing, but I thought I would just
check it out with all of you.  Has anyone ever heard of it.  (I don't
mean training grant 8% F&A limits.)

Thanks.

Angela
