Since indirect costs are real costs, they should be calculated on the
total not just the amount from the sponsor.  In other words, indirect
costs are just as much a part of the cost of conducting a program as
are the direct costs.  Thus, they should apply to the total.  Please
feel free to get in touch if you like.
