Just the first $25K only regardless of the length of the contract. You are correct,

Subject: [RESADM-L] MTDC/subaward question

Hi folks,

Quick question:
If we are developing a 5-year budget, and included in that budget is a subaward to another institution (let's say it's a total of $250,000 over the entire 5-year project period), is my institution allowed to take indirect costs from the first $25k for each project year, or only the entire project period?

Our institution tends to do one year contracts on such multiyear projects for subcontracts, and renew them each year; however, my argument is that the project is one large scope of work for a multiyear period, and as such, we should only take indirects from the first $25k for the total five year cost of the subaward.

I would appreciate everyone's take on this.

Thanks!
Scott
