FILING REF:
This is the original agreement.
The rates approved in this agreement are for use on grants, contracts and
other agreements with the Federal Government, and other sponsoring agencies subject
to the conditions in Section II. Rates are applied to GRA salaries to calculate tuition remission cost.
SECTION I: Rates
Effective Period
(1) All Research sponsored agreements including cost sharing
BASE:
(A) Graduate Research/Teaching Assistants' Salaries
SECTION II: GENERAL
A. LIMITATIONS: The rate(s) in this Agreement
is subject to any statutory or administrative limitations
and apply to a given grant, contract, or other agreement
only to the extent that funds are available. Acceptance
of the rate(s) is subject to the following conditions:
(1) Only costs incurred by the organization were included
in its fringe benefits cost pool as finally accepted;
such costs are legal obligations of the organization and
are allowable under the governing costs principles. (2)
The same costs that have been treated as fringe benefits
costs are not claimed as indirect costs. (3) Similar type
of costs have been accorded consistent accounting treatment
(4) The information provided by the organization which
was used to establish the rate(s) is not later found to
be materially incomplete or inaccurate.
B. ACCOUNTING CHANGES: If a fixed or predetermined
rate(s) is contained in this Agreement, it is based on
the accounting system in effect at the time the agreement
was negotiated. Changes to the method of accounting for
costs which affect the amount of reimbursement resulting
from the use of this Agreement require prior approval
of the authorized representative of the cognizant agency.
Such changes include, but are not limited to, changes
in the charging of a particular type of costs from indirect
to direct. Failure to obtain such approval may result
in costs disallowances.
C. FIXED RATES: If a fixed rate(s) is contained
in this Agreement, it is based on an estimate of the costs
for the period covered by the rate(s). When the actual
costs for this period are determined, an adjustment will
be made in a subsequent Agreement to compensate for the
difference between the costs used to establish the fixed
rate(s) and actual costs.
D. USE BY OTHER FEDERAL AGENCIES: The rate(s)
in this Agreement is approved in accordance with the authority
in Office of Management and Budget Circular A-88, and
should be applied to grants, contracts and other agreements
covered by Office of Budget and Management Circular A-21,
subject to any limitations in A above. The organization
may provide copies of this Agreement to other Federal
Agencies to give them early notification of the Agreement.
E. OTHER: If any Federal contract, grant or other
agreement is reimbursing fringe benefits by a means other
than the approved rate(s) in this agreement, the organization
should (1) credit such costs to the affected programs
and (2) apply the approved rate(s) to the appropriate
base to identify the proper amount of fringe benefit costs
allocable to these programs.
F. AUDIT: Input costs, rate calculations, application
of rates to the appropriate direct labor base, and the
determination of carryforward are subject to audit under
OMB Circular A-133.
G. SPECIAL REMARKS: The following costs are included
in the rates: Tuition only, no fees
