  1. UC Discovery Grant LBNL Specific Guidance Jeff Weiner Sponsored Projects Office April 2009

  2. General • Per UC rules, the partner’s funds bear all indirects while UC funds do not bear any indirects. • At LBNL, indirects on UC funds need to be picked up by the partner ( in addition to the indirects on their funds) • The proposal is submitted by the SPO office • If successful, we execute a CRADA with the partner to formalize the collaboration.

  3. Indirect Cost Treatment • UC money is treated like “CSR Funds (or gifts)” for LBNL accounting rules. • Organizational burdens are charged to the UC funds and would have to be transferred to the partner because no indirect types burdens are allowable on the UC funds. • Procurement and Travel burdens are Service Center recharges and are considered direct charges and are charged to UC. • There is no G&A charged to the UC funds but are charged to the Partner funds. • Partner pays • full cost on its funds (including FAC if applicable) and also pays the Org Burden on the UC funds

  4. Agreement Type • A CRADA would be executed and the partner’s share would be • its share of direct costs, • all indirects, and, • the indirects that UC will not pay (see previous page). • While this would cost the sponsor some additional costs, it is significantly less than applying full Lab Indirect costs • CRADAs take some time to execute, so start early
