Indirect Cost Rate
Indirect costs are those costs/expenses that cannot be easily allocated to a particular sponsored project (university administration, building use, electricity, heat, etc.). This does not include clerical support for grants. The university rate for indirect costs depends on the funder:

• 44.3% of personnel salary and wages for Federal and State grants including grants with Federal pass-through funds. This rate has been negotiated with the Federal Government.
• 10% on total direct costs for private grants.

You may find that the funder has a policy limiting indirect costs. If this is the case, forward the policy to IPSR with your budget.
