Facilities and Administrative (F & A) Costs (Indirect Costs)
Facilities and administrative cost rates have been negotiated with the Department of Health and Human Services.听 Tennessee 福利影院最新网址 is in provisional status听 as of July 1, 2019 until amended.听 Please use the facilities and administrative cost rate indicated below.

Benefit Rates Memorandum

Indirect Cost Rate Agreement Document

Date signed: May 20, 2020
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
Contract Person: Darryl W. Mayes - 301-492-4855

The federal government requires that with the exception of clinical and drug trials, and state and local contracts and grants that the same indirect cost rate be charged to non-federal grants and contracts as is charged to federal grants and contracts. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) assumes that it costs the same to administer and provide facilities for privately sponsored research projects as it does for a federally-sponsored project and views a reduced rate as a potential unauthorized subsidy to the private sector.

If the proposed sponsor's policy requires a rate other than those indicated in the table below, apply the sponsor's rate to the total direct costs, unless otherwise stipulated in the sponsor guidelines.听 Please attach a copy of the sponsor's guidelines to the TSU proposal routing sheet.

In some cases, a reduction or waiver of indirect costs for reasons other than the policy of the sponsor may be requested. Written justification, including the impact of the proposed effort on the mission of the department or center, for partial or complete waiver of indirect costs must be submitted to RSP with the proposal for review. The request will be reviewed and a recommendation will be made for approval or disapproval by the Vice President for Research and Sponsored Programs.
