  5. F&A Rate Overview

  6. The F&A Equation • The F&A rate is calculated based on two important numbers, which Huron helps determine. • The Numerator: Facilities and Administrative costs of organized research activities at UO • The Denominator: Annual spending on research grants at UO • Actually based on Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC) F&A Costs for Research Activities Annual Research Spending F&A Rate

  7. Other Institutional Activities Other Sponsored Activities Organized Research Instruction • Modified Total Direct Cost Bases The total dollars spent by UO can be divided into the four MTDC bases, each representing a different function of UO. The F&A rate is concerned only with the OrganizedResearch base, the denominator of the rate equation. Question: How does UO identify costs and expenditures in each of these categories?

  9. Newly Negotiated F&A Rates • Negotiated as of December 8, 2011: • New rates are effective beginning FY2013 (July 1, 2012)

  10. Off-Campus vs. On-Campus • The new definition: • An off-campus rate is applicable to those projects conducted in facilities not owned or operated by the University, which include charges for facility rental as a direct expenditure and for which more than 50% of the project salaries and wages are for effort conducted in the rental facility. • When determining of your project is off or on campus – ask yourself three questions: • (1) Is your project taking place in a non-UO facility? • (2) Is rent being charged to the project? • (3) Are more than 50% of the UO salary/wages for effort taking place at the off-site facility ? • If you can answer YES to ALL of these questions, use an off-campus rate.  If not, the on-campus rate should be applied.
