We routinely collect indirect on the first $25,000 of foreign subcontracts
without any problem.  Most of ours are NIH funded.

Subject: Foreign Institutions

Is anyone aware of any regulations which would prevent an institution from
claiming F&A on the first $25,000 of a foreign consortium agreement or
subcontract?  I know that it is not allowable for the foreign institution
to receive F&A, but what about the prime?  Our rate agreement just states
that we exclude "the portion of each subaward in excess of $25,000".

Thanks in advance.
