Does the $1 million cost per center include direct and indirect costs?
ANSWER. An applicant may request a project period of up to five years and a budget for direct costs of up to $1 million per year. The $1 million direct costs per year do not include the Facilities and Administrative [(F & A) previously called ‘indirect’] costs of the applicant minority institution. However, it does include the direct and indirect costs of all consortium arrangements. We encourage the applicant to use the center as an opportunity to obtain other funding and/or in-kind support from their associated collaborators and partners.
