On-campus vs. off-campus F&A rate

Whether the project is charged an on-campus or off-campus F&A rate is decided by time and effort, not dollars. If more than half of the work will be conducted at the university, the on-campus rate is to be used. Even if a lower mandated agency F&A rate is charged (i.e., training grant at 8% F&A), KUCR still needs to determine whether it is an on-campus or off-campus research project. This issue needs to be addressed at the proposal stage.

  • Question:  Will the current F&A rates continue until June 30, 2011, when next amended by the Department of Health and Human Services?
  •  
  • ANSWER:  Yes and no.  Most program rates remain the same throughout the duration of this agreement, but some program rates increase incrementally (only for new proposed projects).  The tables at the top of this page provide a summary of appropriate rates and implementation dates.
