Scott you are correct. Your institution can only receive indirect costs on the first $25,000 of the sub-award over the life of the project. So essentially, you all will not receive any indirect costs on the remaining $225,000 budgeted for the sub-award agency. It doesn't matter that you are electing to renew the sub-award agreement annually. The agency is budget to receive the whole $250,000 over the life of the project. Sharon D.

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!
