What the limit is on the indirect costs for the tobacco grant?
Indirect costs may be included as part of administrative costs. Administrative costs should equal a reasonable, relatively small percentage of the overall budget. Some counties have federally negotiated indirect rates. In those cases, that rate can be used as a guideline. Reviewers will be examining each budget item and making a judgment about its merit; high or otherwise unusual administrative or indirect costs may result in a deduction of points by grant reviewers. Applicants should keep the highly competitive nature of this application process in mind in drafting the proposed budget.
