FY07-FY11 F&A rates

Effective 4/30/2007, ASU’s F&A rate became Predetermined instead of Provisional. You should be using the following rates on all proposals which are the current rates in our existing agreement.

ASU Predetermined Rates

7/1/06-6/30/07 49.5% Organized Research / On-Campus
7/1/07-6/30/08 50.5% Organized Research / On-Campus
7/1/08-6/30/11 52.5% Organized Research / On-Campus
7/1/06-6/30/07 57.9% Instruction / On-Campus
7/1/07-6/30/11 53.0% Instruction / On-Campus

7/1/06-6/30/11 26.0% Organized Research, Instruction, Other Sponsored Activity / Off-Campus*

*An off-campus rate is applicable to those projects conducted in facilities not owned or operated by ASU, which include charges for facility rental as a direct expenditure, and for which more than 50% of the project salaries and wages are for effort conducted in the rented facility.

Prorating F&A Budgets in case of Fiscal Year Cross-over

When budgeting for periods which cross over two ASU’s July-June budget years which have different F&A rates (ex. FY2008 and FY2009), pro-rate the F&A to reflect rate changes within the project’s budget year.

Example of a 10/1/07-9/30/08 budget for on-campus research with $100,000 MTDC:

10/1/07-6/30/08:
($100,000 * 50.5%) *9 months/12 months = $37,875

07/1/08-9/30/08:
($100,000 * 52.5%) *3 months/12 months = $13,125

10/1/07-9/30/08 F&A Budget:
$37,875 + $13,125 = $51,000
