What if the sponsor only allows a certain percentage for indirect or F&A costs?
The rate agreement does not supersede sponsor guidelines. In the case of training, for example, many federal training grants mandate an indirect cost rate of no more than 8%. Many private sponsors also will not support indirect costs over a certain percentage; some will not allow indirect costs at all. In these cases, OSP will require written documentation of the policy from the sponsor.
