Facilities and Administration (F&A)

All sponsored program Activity Types fall into three major functions as defined by Federal Uniform Guidance: Organized Research, Instruction, or Other Sponsored Activity (OSA).

F&A costs are those costs incurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objective that cannot be readily assigned to a particular sponsored project. F&A costs are also referred to as “indirect costs.” Examples include: electricity, IT, depreciation on buildings, and general departmental administrative costs.

The UW establishes F&A rates to be used for sponsored program activity in proposal budget preparation. These F&A rates account for the F&A costs that will be incurred to carry out the project.

Review F&A Rate Agreement

How to Determine the Correct F&A Rate:

Follow these steps for New & Competing Supplements to determine correct F&A rate:

Understand when GIM 13: Policy Circumstances determine the F&A rate and/or base.

Otherwise, identify:

  1. The appropriate Activity Type.
    • Note: When the project’s organized research activity also has a component of instruction or other sponsored activity, apply the organized research rate to the entire project.
  2. Activity Location where work will be performed
  3. Proposal Budget Periods.
  4. The correct F&A rate from the F&A Rate Table(s) based on the activity type, location(s), and budget period(s).
  5. Costs that make up the F&A Base.

F&A Rate Table

Use these rates for proposal preparation. The F&A rate is applied to the base amount of the project. Review GIM 13 F&A Rate guidance for information on: base calculations, activity types, locations, activity at multiple locations and more.

On-Campus F&A Rates

On-Campus locations budget calculations use base type Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC) unless program announcement states otherwise. Review more GIM 13: F&A Base guidance.

* Use this rate for proposal budgeting until amended per the F&A Rate Agreement.

Research Affiliate Program F&A Rates

Industry Research Affiliate Programs: 20% of the program membership fees go towards F&A for Research Affiliate Program activities.

Industry Research Affiliate Programs Rates and Dates
20% of the membership dues go towards F&A. When this is subtracted from the overall membership fee, the result in an effective F&A rate of 25%.

For example:

If the total membership fee is $50,000
20% of $50,000 = $10,000
$50,000-$10,000 = $40,000
$50,000/$40,000 = 1.25

25% is the effective rate
