Standard practice at UCI is to propose our full federal rate for sponsors without a published reduced rate. The only other circumstance generally where a reduced rate may be established is if the PI (successfully) proceeds with a Campus Vital Interest waiver request that must be approved for the campus by the Asst VC for Research or VC for Research. This request must clearly demonstrate that the research involved is so vital and beneficial to the campus and community at large that it merits an administrative reduction by the campus. As you can imagine, these are pretty rare. Contact me off list if you would like to see excerpts from policy on this. I know that other organizations out there may allow reduced F&A recovery, but the PI's dept must front the difference in F&A costs.

There are two changes that are unclear. Is this only for awards or also proposals processed in FY12? *FY2012 Funding Levels: *Non-competing awards will be issued without cost of living/inflationary adjustments in FY 2012; however adjustments for special needs (such as equipment and added personnel) will continue to be accommodated. This policy applies to all grants (research and non-research) when applicable. *Inflationary Increases for Future Years: *Inflationary increases for future year commitments will be discontinued for all competing and non-competing research grant awards issued in FY 2012, however adjustments for special needs (such as equipment and added personnel) will continue to be accommodated. For these two changes are we not supposed to be budgeting for a cost of living increase on NIH proposals now for future years? Are we supposed to only use our current numbers for all years of the project?
