设施 & 行政成本回收 & 分布
Externally-funded projects administered by the 圣何塞州立大学 Research Foundation (菠菜网lol正规平台RF) include 设施 and Administrative (F&A)收费，也被称为收费 as indirect cost or overhead, which is based on federally negotiated rates with the 联邦政府. These charges are intended to cover the university’s costs associated with shared services such as research-specific physical plant operations, maintenance, and utility costs; departmental, unit or college, and sponsored projects’ administrative expenses; federal compliance requirements; depreciation of buildings and equipment; 和库.
菠菜网lol正规平台RF要求使用F&A funds to support itself, being the university auxiliary providing some of these shared services to the research enterprise. 此外, F&A funds are used to support new research space development (e.g.跨学科 科学 Building) and existing space maintenance, 菠菜网lol正规平台 IT infrastructure support, 菠菜网lol正规平台 off-campus research administration expenses, other specific 菠菜网lol正规平台 research program administration, and other overhead costs (e.g.美国国家航空航天局的项目成本分担，以及 菠菜网lol正规平台RF Board approved reserves to cover 菠菜网lol正规平台RF expenses during 联邦政府 关闭时间).
剩下的F&A基金在最后 of each fiscal year are paid to 菠菜网lol正规平台 to continue the development and support of the research enterprise. 上海大学管理层决定 how these funds are distributed internally. 看到 菠菜网lol正规平台RF F&备忘录[pdf] to the 菠菜网lol正规平台 Academic Senate for additional details.
F&一个分布
F .的校园分布&一个返回s is shared among the university constituents of qualifying projects/grants for future Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (RSCA)-related expenses: principal investigator (PI): 15%, department: 15%, college: 35%，研究部 & 创新:35%.
As set by the 菠菜网lol正规平台RF 董事会, a project/grant qualifies for an F&一个返回 得到F&A rate higher than the calculated 菠菜网lol正规平台RF Administrative Percentage (美联社). The AP is equal to the actual 菠菜网lol正规平台RF general and administrative expenses divided by the Modified Total Direct 成本 (MTDC)—defined as total direct costs minus items that do not earn an indirect recovery such as pass through amounts—which changes each year, typically between 20-25%. The amount distributed to each qualifying project or grant is equivalent to the amount of total F&A是由它生成的 项目在AP之上.
例子:
总共500万美元的F&A indirects was generated in the year, of which $4.500万年 was spent on 菠菜网lol正规平台RF operation, contributions to 菠菜网lol正规平台 research enterprise development, 以及董事会指定的储备金. 菠菜网lol正规平台RF还有50万美元的剩余资金&A基金在最后 of its fiscal year to distribute to campus. 菠菜网lol正规平台RF今年的预估为23%.
The projects or grants that qualify to receive F&A返回是生成的 F&A的间接率高于23%. 符合条件的项目共享F&一个校园 distribution in the following amounts:
| 主要调查人员 | $75,000 |
| 部门 | $75,000 |
| 大学 | $150,000 |
| 研究与创新部 | $150,000 |
A qualifying project or grant (with an F&A rate higher than 23%) with total MTDC of 有F的10万美元&A rate of 46% and contributed $46,000 of indirect revenue, 会得到F&一个返回s in the amount that is equivalent to the difference between F&A rate and the AP which is 23% (46-23), or $23,000.
A qualifying project or grant (with an F&A rate higher than 23%) with total MTDC of 有F的10万美元&A rate of 26% and contributed $26,000 of indirect revenue, 会得到F&一个返回s in the amount that is equivalent to the difference between F&A rate and the AP which is 3% (26-23), or $3,000.
In each of these examples, the project’s/grant's F&回报将被分成两部分 the university constituents; i.e. 23,000美元的F&一个返回, would be distributed as follows: $3,450 for the PI(s), $3,450 for the department, $8,050 for the college, and $8,050 for the 研究与创新部.
