When is a proposal considered to be off-campus and therefore subject to the lower overhead rate?
The definition of off-campus is dependent upon how the work is to be charged rather than where the work is to be done. Our negotiated rate agreement defines off-campus: For all activities performed in facilities not owned by the institution and to which rent is directly allocated to the project, the off-campus rate will apply. Grants or contract will not be subject to more than one F&A cost rate. If more than 50% of a project is performed off-campus, the off-campus rate will apply to the entire project. For example, if the work is to be completed in facilities in Danville, facilities for which Virginia Tech either owns or leases centrally, the proposal would be subject to the on-campus F&A rate. However, if the facilities were to be paid for directly by the grant itself, the off-campus rate would apply.
