Yes - indirect costs only on the first $25K. After all you are creating a 5-year budget, not five 1-year budgets. I think you can defend that position.

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!
