Expenditures for other federal awards are determined using the cost principles and procedures set forth in OMB Uniform Guidance, Cost Principles. Under these principles, certain expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Expenditures consist of direct and indirect costs. Direct costs are those that can be specifically identified with a particular sponsored project. Indirect costs are the costs of services and resources that benefit sponsored projects as well as non-sponsored projects and activities. The University and federal agencies use an indirect cost rate to charge facility and administrative costs to particular sponsored projects. The rate is the result of a number of cost allocation procedures that the University uses to allocate its facility and administrative costs to both sponsored and non-sponsored activities. The rate that the University uses to charge indirect costs to federally sponsored projects is subject to review and approval by the U.S. Department of Education. The University elected to use the 10% de-minimus indirect cost rate for the year ended June 30, 2024, as permitted by Uniform Guidance.
