The Off-Campus rate is applicable to sponsored projects performed in facilities which are not owned or leased by OSU, or when rent of facilities is directly allocated to the project as an approved direct cost. Where a project occurs both at on-campus and off-campus locations, the on-campus and off-campus locations, the off-campus component must consist of an activity period a minimum of 90 consecutive days away from the institution. The appropriate rate will be applied to each portion.

If a split is justified, it will be necessary to provide a budget showing the on-campus and off-campus costs. Each budget should identify the activities, related costs, and application of the appropriate indirect cost rates for each location. Activities at an off-campus location for less than 90 consecutive days are included in the on-campus budget and should use the appropriate on-campus rate. The following locations and buildings qualify to use the off-campus rate in a sponsored project proposal, regardless of the day rule for off-campus activities.

If the sponsor has published rates that restrict recovery to less than OSU's negotiated rates, attach a copy, or weblink, of the sponsor's published rates as appears in their guidelines to the Cayuse proposal and apply the sponsor's rate in your budget. An example would be as follows:. These requests are reviewed by the Director of Sponsored Research and Award Administration on a case-by-case basis and are only approved under special circumstances.

This rate will be used until the award expires. This includes non-competing continuation requests when the continuation year for which you are requesting funds was awarded in the original award document. For questions about application of the new rates to future proposals, contact the Office of Sponsored Research and Award Administration at In order to prepare budgets that implement these increased rates, the following table is offered as a guide for projects categorized as organized research.

The rate for projects categorized as on-campus organized research, the rate that is effective at the beginning of the budget period typically 12 months should be used for that budget period. See below for different examples that illustrate two possible start dates. If the award is made as a grant or cooperative agreement, OSRAA will set up the award using the rate appropriate for grants and cooperative agreements.

Any differential will be budgeted into supplies. See below for different examples that illustrate two start dates. Skip to main content.

Instead, the principal differences result from the following factors:. The UI has historically accepted some reduction of its calculated rate in the interest of reaching a prompt agreement with federal negotiators.

A good example of the former would be conference grants, while a good example of the latter would be training grants. This estimate does not include that portion which is returned to those campus operating entities e. A portion of the allocated budget is reserved for the support of various research initiatives under the auspices of the Vice President for Research.

In addition, there are some significant annual allocations of funds as well as a number of special funding requests for new initiatives, bridging funds and emergencies that are approved by central administration officials to support and enhance the research enterprise.

For example, if two universities have the same direct cost research base and one has twice as many net square feet of space assigned to research, the facilities rate component for the university with twice the net square footage will be approximately twice that of the other university.

Universities that are able to spend money to renovate existing research facilities and construct new research facilities experience a higher level of costs than universities that are unable to do so. These higher costs are reflected in their recovery rates for building use. The location of a university has a significant effect on the costs of facility operations.

The universities that have the best combination of climactic conditions and utility rates will generally have a lower rate for facility operations. The cost per square foot of constructing or renovating biomedical research space is more costly than the cost per square foot of space for mathematicians. Differences in cost recovery strategies also contribute significantly to rate variations.

A common example of this would be employee fringe benefits.
