Gina,

Our faculty are allowed to perform "testing services" ; while the University
does not encourage this, faculty can perform such tests if it can be shown
that such services that cannot reasonably be performed commercially
elsewhere.

Since these activities do not constitute "research" (i.e., they do not lead
to the extension of knowledge or increased effectiveness in teaching), we
have a special (somewhat lower) indirect cost rate for what are termed
"other activities".  We have both on-campus and off-campus rates for these
"other activities".  We process these sponsored activities the same way we
process research-the same documents are required (transmittal forms,
conflict of interest disclosures, statements of work, budgets, etc.).

 Does anyone allow their faculty to perform analytical services
 (testings) for companies?  If so, how do you process this type of
 services via your office?, do you havea set rate?, how to set a
 rate?, do you recover normal o/h?, etc.

 Thank you in advance for your help!
