What is Millersville University’s federally negotiated Facilities and Administrative (F&A) Cost Rate (indirect cost rate)?
Millersville is authorized by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to apply against federal grants an F&A Cost Rate of 41% of all direct salaries and wages (including all fringe benefits). Where the above is not applicable (including on many contracts and foundation grant applications), it is typical to request a minimum of 8% of the total direct cost against any grants or contracts. The 8% is based upon the approved rate chargeable to other federally funded programs currently in operation at the University (such as the Upward Bound and the Migrant Education programs).
