*BASE is the modified total direct costs (MTDC). MTDC consist of all salaries and wages, fringe benefits, materials, supplies, services, travel and subgrants and subcontracts up to $25,000 of each (regardless of the period covered by the subgrant or subcontract). MTDC shall exclude equipment, capital expenditures, charges for patient care and tuition remission, rental costs of off-site facilities, scholarships, and fellowships as well as the portion of each subgrant and subcontract in excess of $25,000. Equipment means an article of nonexpendable tangible personal property having a useful life of more than two years, and an acquisition cost of $5,000 or more per unit. For contracts with State of Florida agencies (not including other SUS Universities), use agency specified rate @ TDC (unless otherwise specified). For all activities performed in facilities not owned by organization and to which rent is directly allocated to the project(s), the off-site/off-campus rate will apply. Grants or contracts will not be subject to more than one indirect cost rate. If more than 50% of a project is performed off-site/off-campus, the off-site/off- campus rate will apply to the entire project. All applicable project(s) will be charged TDC. (# denotes TDC) |
