These are the results of a survey I conducted on this list a couple of years
ago.  I don't know if the results are still valid.  The rate for UCONN
Health Center is still as it was 2 years ago.

The University of Michigan conducted a similar survey a year or two earlier
than mine.  I have a copy, but I can't recall if they gave me permission to
post the information.  If some one from UM confirms its OK to post it, I
will, or perhaps they have updated theirs, and can post it.  It would be
useful to update this information, and if anyone cares to respond directly
to me, I will do so and post it in a few weeks.  We at UCONN have found this
information of great value.

Dear Colleagues-

The indirect cost rate for clincial studies at the University of
Florida is 25% of total direct costs.  What are the rates applied to
clinical studies at some of your institutions?  Please indicate what
base is used.  Thanks for your help.  If there is interest I can post
results to whoever is interested.  Thanks.
