F&A Cost Recovery: On- and Off-Campus Rates
Good
morning,
The
Office of Sponsored Programs Administration (OSPA) maintains internal policies
and procedures for recovery of facilities and administrative (F&A) costs
consistent with System-wide BPM-203, F&A Cost Recovery (Grants &
Contracts).
In
collaboration with MU campus and UM System partners, OSPA has developed an
addition to the F&A policy* to provide clear and consistent guidance for
determining on- or off-campus classification of sponsored activities. There is
also clarification regarding the applicable rates for clinical trials.
The
guidance is published to the OSPA
website as an addition to the F&A
Cost Recovery policy. Should you have questions about the applicability of
this policy to current or anticipated projects, please contact OSPA.
