.....IF IT'S A FEDERAL SPONSOR, EVMS CHARGES THE FEDERALLY NEGOTIATED IDC
RATE UNLESS THE FEDERALLY SPONSORED PROJECT INCLUDES AN "ALTERNATIVE" IDC
RATE FOR PARTICIPATION.  WE ARE CURRENTLY PARTICIPATING IN A FEW CLINICAL
PROGRAMS IN WHICH WE DO NOT RECEIVE THE NEGOTIATED RATE.  THE ALTERNATIVE
RATE WAS ACCEPTED BY THE INSTITUTION PRIOR TO ACCEPTANCE.
