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.

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