How should indirect costs be shown, to avoid counting them twice toward the institutions cost share?
Most institutions that receive grants from Federal agencies already have established an approved indirect cost rate, which they use in Federal grant applications. Any cost items that have been included in the basis for an approved indirect cost rate cannot be included in the direct costs shown in the budget forms of your application.
