Facilities and Administration (F&A) Rates

Definition

In your proposal application, you can request facilities & administrative (F&A) costs, often called indirect costs, to pay for common or joint objectives that cannot be readily identified with an individual project or program.

Obtaining the appropriate F&A rates

You can obtain the appropriate F&A rate to use in your proposed project budget by reviewing USF FACILITIES AND ADMINISTRATIVE COST RATES. 

Note: Your URA can assist with obtaining the F&A rates as well.
