Can my budget include indirect costs? What is the MJFF definition of and policy for direct and indirect costs?
Your budget can include indirect costs. MJFF considers indirect costs to be the percentage charge an institution attaches to all grants, which usually covers expenses such as electricity, use of lab space, etc. Direct costs are budget items required for conducting the study-for instance, supplies, equipment usage fees, patient travel (where appropriate for the program), salaries, etc. Indirect costs are the same as overhead costs.
