Overview
w88 live casino and Administrative costs (F&A), also referred to as "indirect costs" or "overhead," are actual costs that the University of Nevada, Reno (University) incurs when research, education or outreach projects are performed at the University. These costs include the following: administration; utilities; buildings and grounds operations and maintenance; library-related expenditures; various types of University services such as telephones, computer infrastructure and postage services; departmental, college and service unit administrative costs; and federally-mandated research compliance.
All sponsored projects are required to charge the full federally negotiated F&A w88 live casino regardless of the sponsor. This requirement to charge the full F&A w88 live casino rule applies to applications and proposals submitted to government agencies, private companies, industrial groups, foundations, or other organizations. The w88 live casino, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards requires all federal sponsors to pay the University's federally negotiated w88 live casino unless an agency has a statutory exemption.
F&A w88 live casino are reimbursement for actual w88 live casino. Full F&A should be calculated in the proposal budget. It should be emphasized that F&A w88 live casino are not merely convenient accounting fictions; they are factual obligations and w88 live casino incurred by the University. The assessment made against sponsors for F&A w88 live casino, therefore, is reimbursement to the University for w88 live casino actually incurred. It is not in any sense profit, bonus or a service fee. The University cannot afford to accept funds for activities without recovering the total (direct and F&A) w88 live casino of the activities. When the University must pay these w88 live casino from their own funds, money must be diverted from other needs. On rare and unusual circumstances, the University may agree to waive F&A based on an assessment of the value of a program to the University as a whole and not just to a specific investigator or department.
Responsible sponsor representatives are fully aware that F&A are a sizeable portion of the total cost of supporting research. Sponsors judge proposals not by the F&A w88 live casino but by the professional standing of the faculty member, the merit of the proposed work and the pertinence of that work to their own goals.

The appropriate F&A rate to be used is determined by the type of project work. Sponsored project types are research, instruction, public service and student service. Current rates can be found in the w88 live casino on the w88 live casino website.
To determine F&A w88 live casino, calculate the sum of all budgeted direct w88 live casino (total direct w88 live casino). Next, calculate modified total direct w88 live casino (MTDC) by subtracting any of the budget items listed below. Finally, apply the appropriate F&A rate (percentage) to MTDC (multiply MTDC by F&A rate). The resulting figure is the F&A cost. Example: 0,000 (MTDC) x 44% (on-campus research F&A rate) = ,000 (F&A cost).
