Facilities & Administrative (F&A) Rates

Facilities & Administrative (F&A) Rates are also known as Indirect Costs. By definition, these costs are “incurred for a common or joint purpose benefitting more than one cost objective, and not readily assignable to the cost objectives specifically benefitted, without effort disproportionate to the results achieved.”

Examples of F&A costs would be:

  • Equipment Depreciation
  • Utilities
  • General Administration
  • Sponsored Programs Administration
