How does the annual space survey fit into the F&A rate proposal process?
A Information from the space survey is used for many purposes–classroom planning and scheduling, master planning for OSU, OUS, State and City of Corvallis, and the F&A rate proposal process. Space codes are used to determine how the Building Depreciation, Equipment Depreciation and Operations and Maintenances indirect cost pools are allocated to the four functions of organized research, other sponsored activities, instruction and other institutional activities. OSU’s space survey is conducted annually, and the entire campus is surveyed. In FY05, the spring 2005 survey data will be used for the F&A rate proposal.
