F&A and Fringe Benefit Rate
Quick Fact Sheet
Facilities and Administrative Costs (F&A) (formerly called overhead/indirect costs) and Fringe Benefit rates must be applied fairly and equitably on all proposals regardless if submitting to a federal, state, local, foundation, educational, professional, and/or private agency.
The following rates apply within their respective time frames and are applicable to UCF on-campus research, off-campus research, and FSEC on-campus research activities:
UCF General F&A Rates
On-Campus research: 07/01/2004 to 06/30/2006. Please apply the rate of 43%.
Off-Campus research: Please apply 26%. Please note that off-campus research is defined as a project conducted 100% off-campus with no commitment
of UCF owned or managed resources other than personnel.
In addition, the correct rate must be applied to each year of a multiple year project. It is possible that you will have more than one F&A rate
applied within your budget. Please also note that any project extending beyond 06/30/2006 will use 43% until our new rate for this period has
been renegotiated with the federal government.
Florida Solar Energy (FSEC) Rates Only
On-Campus research: 07/01/2004 to 06/30/2006. Please apply the rate of 42%.
Off-Campus research: Please apply 26%. Please note that off-campus research is defined as a project conducted 100% off-campus with no commitment
of FSEC resources other than personnel.
In addition, the correct rate must be applied to each year of a multiple year project. It is possible that you will have more than one F&A rate
applied within your budget. Please also note that any project extending beyond 06/30/2006 will use 42% until our new rate for this period has
been renegotiated with the federal government.
All above rates are applied to the total direct costs on a modified basis. Modified means that F&A will not be charged on equipment that costs
$1,000 or more per unit, that portion of a subcontract in excess of the first $25K for each subcontract regardless of the number of years of
support, patient care costs, rental/maintenance of off-site activities, student tuition, and student support costs.
