Brief (1-2 sentence) description of your project:

Indirect Costs
If the funder limits the indirect cost rate for this proposal, what is the limit?	%
San Francisco State University has a multi-year Facilities and Administrative (indirect cost) rate agreement with the federal government. This agreement specifies the F&A cost rates to be applied to awards from federal and non-federal sponsors. The agreement is dated November 3, 2005, and is effective through June 30, 2010. The rates specified in the agreement are as follows: The rate for on-campus research is 53.0%; for on-campus instruction, 53.6%; for other on-campus sponsored activities, 28.6%. The rate for off-campus research, instruction, or other sponsored activities is 26.0 percent. Exceptions to these rates occur when a funding agency places a cap on the F&A rate. In this case, ORSP must have written guidelines from the funding agency stating that there is a limit on F&A costs. If you would like to discuss any variance from the above rates, you must speak directly with Alison Sanders, Director for Research and Sponsored Programs (asanders@sfsu.edu or 415-405-3943).
