Indirect Cost Rates: Federal |
For All Programs (Research, Instruction, Training) Modified total direct costs consist of all salaries and wages, fringe benefits, materials, supplies, services, travel and subgrants and subcontracts up to the first $25,000 of each subgrant or subcontract (regardless of the period covered by the subgrant or subcontract). Modified total direct costs exclude capital expenditures (buildings, individual items of equipment; alterations and renovations); that portion of each subaward in excess of $25,000; and flow-through funds. The MTDC rate is subject to any statutory or administrative limitations and apply to a given grant, contract or other agreement only to the extent that funds are available. Official Rate Agreement 11.5% of Modified Total Direct Costs Off-Campus When determining whether the on‐ or off‐campus rate is to be used, especially when multiple institutions are involved, one should only consider Tennessee Tech’s portion of the project and not the project as a whole. If more than 50% of Tennessee Tech’s part of the project utilizes Tennessee Tech’s facilities and resources, the full indirect cost rate of 42% should be charged for the project. If less than 50% of Tennessee Tech’s part of the project utilizes Tennessee Tech’s facilities and resources, the off-campus rate should be utilized (see our full procedure on indirect costs for further information). |
State: |
The agency must provide documentation requiring a rate lower than the federally negotiated rate above, or the rate of 15% of Total Direct Costs should be utilized. Note: in projects utilizing federal flow through funds, the federally negotiated rate of 42% must be used. |
Institutional Agreement: |
The University has three on-campus institutional agreements for research, and others will be negotiated as warranted.
