Proposal Routing and
Approvals
Q: I'm on one campus and
my co-investigator is on the other campus. Which routing form(s) do we use?
What approvals do I need to have from the other campus?
A: The P.I. should use the Proposal
Routing Form for his or her campus. The Office of Research is developing a new
routing form that will be suitable for all campuses and will be used for data
entry into their proposal and awards database. The forms are available on the
Office of Research's
website.
Facilities & Administration Costs (aka:
Indirect Costs)
Q: Do I use the same
indirect (F&A) costs for a subproject on another
campus?
A: The Uptown
and HSC campuses have the same indirect cost recovery rate. The Primate Center
has a different rate. The current ICR rates are available from the
Office of Research
Administration's website.
Q: How are recovered
indirect costs allocated on grants with investigators on multiple
campuses?
A:
Recovered indirect costs will generally be allocated among the university, the
P.I.'s school, and in some cases, the P.I.'s department in order to
appropriately reimburse those units for the indirect costs (space, utilities,
services, administration) of conducting sponsored research. The way in which
recovered IDC is distributed varies by school. For large grants, such as NIH
Program Project Grants, where subproject budgets were submitted as part of the
proposal, a separate account will generally be established for each subproject.
Indirect costs recovered under each account will generally flow to the school
of each co-investigator. There may be some exceptions in the case of grants
associated with university Centers such that some proportion of the indirect
costs flow also to the Center to support Center resources. This is because some
Centers are responsible for funding their own administrative and research
infrastructures.
