20% on all non NCG research income other than contracts which are full cost
recovery plus profit.  That is applicants are expected to add 25% to the
actual project costs at the time of application to achieve a 20%
contribution from the total grant.  Half of this goes to the Faculty and
half is retained centrally as a contribution towards the central borne
costs.  We push the line (which is true) that this is a very modest
contribution and allow very few exceptions.

Subject: University internal charges for contract research

Greetings,

I'm a recent addition to this list and apologise if this topic has
been running of late (or if it's generally not of interest) ,  but
I've been asked (and not been able to put my fingers on) for
information about  Universities practices with internal charging for
'infrastructure' costings for contract research.

I would be grateful for any information (asap of course) on what your
institution charges internally as a percentage (or however) of funds
brought in for contract research both to the University and
School/department level.

Discussions here have reached a fairly high point in the distribution
of contract reserarch funds for central, school and research groups.
I'd also be interested to know whether anyone 'charges' a percentage
(and attributes it back) for the support put in by offices of
research.

Regards
Russ
