Determining Off-Campus F&A Rate Usage
In an effort to provide clarification on the usage of the off campus F&A rate, we have provided the following guidelines:
- Rate usage is determined by where the preponderance of budgeted personnel effort will occur over the entire period of the project. If more than 50% of the effort is performed on campus, the on campus rate will apply.
- The off campus rate does not apply to field research. (If you are in the field collecting data and the analysis of said data takes place at BC, the off campus rate would not apply.)
- If the research effort is performed at locations not owned or leased by BC, then the off campus rate would apply.
- Grants will not be subject to more than one rate.
