Indirect Cost Rates - Facilities and Administration
The new rate agreement is effective 9/19/2022 and will be applicable to any new or renewing proposals submitted. Existing awards or continuations to existing awards will retain the indirect rate in place for the award over the life of the project.
The new indirect rates in effect now and to be incorporated in new proposals are as follows:
|
· |
56% for on-campus research |
|
· |
52.5% for instruction |
|
· |
35% for other sponsored activities |
|
· |
26% off-campus rate for all sponsored projects (where rent is specifically allocated as a direct cost). |
MTDC includes all budget costs excluding capital equipment and equipment fabrication, capital expenditures, rental costs, STEM tuition, scholarships and fellowships, participant support costs and subcontract amounts in excess of $25,000 (indirect is calculated on the first $25,000 of each subcontract). The "Off-Campus" rate is used when the activity is performed in facilities not owned or maintained by UTA and rent is directly allocated to the project for the use of those facilities Actual costs will be apportioned between on-campus and off-campus components. Each portion will bear the appropriate rate.
Current Facilities & Administration Agreement
Different fringe benefit rates are estimated for different types of employees at the University of Texas at Arlington. The rates are subject to change at the beginning of each fiscal year and cover costs such as health insurance, worker's compensation and retirement contributions. Fringe benefits are direct costs related to the amount of salary that is requested. These are not to be confused with F&A costs (see above). Currently*, we estimate fringe benefit rates at 29.3% for faculty, 35.7% for staff, 14.4% for graduate students and 9.2% for undergraduate students, part-time and hourly employees. These estimates are used for budgeting purposes, actual fringe benefit expenses will be assessed to the project account as they are incurred.
* Estimated rates were updated 9/1/2025.
