Is there a standard table of content page (like used in the PHS 398 submissions or 424 that include the breakdown)?
There is no standard table of contents page for contract proposals. The forms you referred to are for grants only. • In the FAQ, #19 and #39 respectively state “You should use the fringe benefit rate applicable to your organization.” and “For the fringe benefit and overhead rates, show the rate(s) and the base(s) used to calculate the cost.” However, the BAA, in Section L.2.c.10.b. on page 59, states “For proposal preparation purposes, offerors who do not have an approved indirect costs rate agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services should estimate 25% for fringe benefits…” Can we use our institution’s fringe rate without an agreement with DHHS, as long as the rate and base calculation is provided? Yes, offerors can use the fringe benefit rate of their institution. Offerors can also use the overhead rate of their institution. The estimates of 25% for fringe benefits and 8% for overhead should be only be used if the offeor’s institution does not have a fringe benefit
