Indirects, also called Indirect Costs or F&A, are costs not directly accountable to a particular project or function but are fixed costs such as administrative overhead. Indirects are usually expressed as a percentage of the total direct costs and are retained by the institution. Use and investment of indirects differ from institution to institution.
