Sponsored instruction refers to the teaching and training activities of an institution created by a grant, contract or cooperation agreement. These activities may be offered for credits for a diploma or certificate or on a non-solvency basis and may be offered by regular academic departments or by separate departments, such as Z.B. Summer School or Extension. (Research training is not included; it is considered research. The Research Office is the only office authorized to negotiate adaptations of the R and D rates for each proposal. Project budgets should include all costs necessary to achieve the objectives of the proposal or agreement. These costs are broken down in two: all other expenses that are not covered by the above categories are accounted for as “other direct costs.” Other direct costs may be: for some sponsors, the university accepts prices on or above the prices listed below, without additional documentation. Institutions and administrative rates (DR) are the mechanisms used to reimburse the university for infrastructure assistance costs, i.e. the costs of funding related to sponsored research and other sponsored agreements.

Research and development rates are essentially overhead rates, calculated as a percentage of the direct costs of sponsored projects. This is a real cost to the university and direct support for projects supported by the University of Miami. Sometimes, research and development rates are called indirect cost rates. The cost of meals, drinks, meals, banquets, meetings, etc. (excluding maintenance or living expenses below the cost of assistance and/or travel) must be expressly included in the sponsorship price budget or approved in writing by the sponsor. For the on-campus research rate and all other institutions and administrative rates – excluding the campus research rate, on- and off-campus rates for other sponsored activities and the affiliation rate (Moffitt) are shown in the table below. Wage rates must be calculated on the basis of actual increases, which cannot be granted solely because a sponsored project is being developed. The summer salary must not exceed one third of the annual academic base for three months of work (the National Science Foundation limits summer aid to 2 months). The increase in the cost of living should be calculated for each year after the first fiscal year with a rate of no more than 3%. Specific projects may include costs that are assessed only for apprentices or program participants. These costs may include: the application of the rates of facilities and administrative costs (indirect costs) to DOD/subcontractor contracts: in accordance with DFARS 2231.303, no restrictions (unless the entity has not waived) the reimbursement of other indirect cost rates incurred by a university under a DOD contract concluded on November 30, 1993, unless the entity has not waived, with the exception of the prohibition that applies uniformly to all others engaged in similar activities. The Ministry of Defence found that such a restriction was not applied uniformly.

The following rates therefore do not reflect the application of the 26% limit on indirect administrative costs imposed by circular OMB A-21. To know what rate should be charged, you need to calculate both and use the smaller of the two.
