RE: FY08–FY10 Predetermined Facilities and Administrative (Indirect Cost) Rates
Date: June 21, 2007

We are pleased to report that our Facilities and Administrative (F&A) rate negotiations with the federal government are now complete.  The final FY07 F&A rates have not changed from the provisional rates.  We are writing to inform you of the new F&A rates effective July 1, 2007.  These rates are to be used immediately for all proposals and for new and competing renewals with project begin dates on or after July 1, 2007.  These rates have been negotiated with the federal government for the period July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010.  Rates will not change for current projects.  The new rates are shown below.

Chicago Campus F&A Rates for July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010

On-Campus Organized Research: 57.00%
Off-Campus Organized Research: 26.00%

On-Campus Instruction: 40.40%
Off-Campus Instruction: 26.00%

On-Campus Other Sponsored Activities: 37.10%
Off-Campus Other Sponsored Activities: 26.00%

Please refer to the document FY08 F&A, Fringe Benefit and Tuition Remission Rates (PDF) for the detailed information necessary to apply the F&A and fringe benefits on sponsored project proposals and for the projected fringe benefits rates for FY08–FY10.  These documents are also available in the Chicago section of the Indirect Cost Rates (F&A) page of the OBFS Grants and Sponsored Projects Website.

Continuing Projects

Under federal guidelines rates should continue for the life of the project until a competing renewal is submitted.  Therefore, the University will honor the rates in place for continuing projects.

Please distribute this information to those in your unit who work with F&A rates.

Any questions or concerns about this information should be directed to Sara P. Siegel, Director of Administrative Planning and Support, at (312) 413 – 9611 or siegel1@uic.edu.
