Reminder on F&A Waiver Requests • There is not a “state rate”! • F&A Waiver requests must be submitted to my attention, by e-mail. Include: • A copy of the budget as an attachment, preferably in Excel format. • Your assessment of the total loss to the institution calculated properly • The reason for the request which must express why the administrative burden associated with this project will be substantially smaller than normal or if not, compelling reasons absorbing the loss is warranted • Requests must originate from the Associate Dean for the College or appropriate designee. • Only those units reporting directly to RGS should send their requests without going through an associate dean for research or dean.
