Project scenario 1:

All sponsor-funded activity performed by ASU is conducted at a location considered to be ASU facilities. The on campus rate applies.

Project scenario 2:

All sponsor-funded activity is conducted at a location NOT considered to be an ASU facility. The off campus rate applies.

Project scenario 3:

Some of the sponsor-funded activity is conducted at a location NOT considered to be an ASU facility. See the below to determine the correct rate:

Does the budget include rent for non-ASU facilities?

If no, are 75% or more budgeted ASU personnel costs incurred at a location considered non-ASU facilities? If no, use on-campus rate. If yes, use off-campus rate. 

If yes, are 50% or more of budgeted ASU personnel costs incurred at the rented non-ASU facilities? If no, use on-campus rate. If yes, use off-campus rate. 

Notes: 

• Conferences, short-term collaboration travel, or working remotely (e.g. from a home office) are not sufficient reasons to use the off-campus rate.
• Activities performed by external collaborators (including subrecipients and other partners) do not factor into the on-/off-campus eligibility.
