Information-New F&A Rates Tentatively Approved


Last month, consultants for the University of Kentucky completed negotiations with the Division of Cost Allocation, DHHS of a new F&A rate agreement. The on-campus research rate will increase to 50.0 percent on July 1, 2013. Other rates are shown below.

Although the new rate agreement has not been signed by the federal government, investigators should immediately begin using the new rates in proposals, including competing renewals, with projected start dates on or after July 1. Per OMB Circular A-21 (G.7.), the current rates will continue in force for the duration of existing awards or competitive segments. Existing non-federal awards that are amended to increase the scope of work and budget on or after July 1 will be subject to the new rate.
