Change in Indirect Costs Rates |
|
Facilities and Administrative costs (indirect costs/overhead) cover the university’s expenses incurred for projects. These costs are incurred for common or joint objectives and, therefore, cannot be readily and specifically identified with a particular project or activity. They are expenses that benefit more than one activity. Common examples of indirect costs include utilities, local telephone charges, shared office supplies, administrative or secretarial salaries, etc. Pace’s federally approved indirect rate has recently changed. It is 71.5% (30% for off-site rate), which is calculated ONLY on salary and wages (and not on other expenses, such as equipment, participant incentives, travel, etc.). Some foundations or specific funding opportunities do not allow indirect costs to be included, or only allow indirect costs up to a specified percentage. Unless it is explicitly stated that indirect costs are limited or not allowed, the full indirect rate should always be included in grant proposals. Please see the Facilities and Administrative Cost Policy (PDF) for more information. Download the Pace University Department of Health & Human Services Indirect Cost Agreement (PDF).
