Florida statutes restrict university F&A to 5% of Total Direct Costs (F.S.
216.346).  The statute states that "In any contract between state agencies,
including any contract involving the State University System or the State
Community College System, the agency receiving the contract or grant moneys
shall charge no more than 5 percent of the total cost of the contract or grant
for overhead or indirect costs or any other costs not required for the payment
of direct costs."

Even on Federal flow-through.
