Should the on-campus or off-campus rate be used?
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 steps below to determine the correct rate.
- Does the budget include rent for non-ASU facilities?
- If yes, are 50% or more of budgeted ASU personnel costs incurred at the rented non-ASU facilities?
- If no, use the on-campus rate.
- If yes, use the off-campus rate.
- If no, are 75% or more of budgeted ASU personnel costs incurred at a location considered non-ASU facilities?
- If no, use the on-campus rate.
- If yes, use the off-campus rate.
- If yes, are 50% or more of budgeted ASU personnel costs incurred at the rented non-ASU facilities?
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 in to the on-/off-campus eligibility.
