Implementation of New Facilities and Administrative (F&A) RatesRAA Brown BagJanuary 2011 Management Accounting and Analysis A Division of Financial Management within Finance and Facilities
Agenda • Summary of Rates – FY 2010 through FY 2014 • Rate Agreement Specifics • Where we are currently and next steps • Questions
Rate Agreement Specifics • Date of Rate Agreement = November 30, 2010 • Rates effective from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2014 (FY 10-FY14) • Links to signed rate agreement and rate components: http://www.washington.edu/research/main.php?page=ospRates&entryTab=2 or http://f2.washington.edu/fm/maa/references
What’s Happening Now • We are using new rates in proposal applications now. • Administrative systems and GIM 13a are being updated with new rates: • FAS (and MyFD), SAGE, Cost Share Module, etc. • Certain F&A costs will be adjusted to reflect lower on-campus OR rate: • On-campus federal and federal pass-through awards, • New awards or competitive renewals on or after July 1, 2009, and • Current actual F&A rate > 54%
Next Steps • List of awards/budgets impacted by adjustment being finalized now. • Retroactive Adjustment Details: • The reduction in indirect cost will increase available unallocated direct budget • Timing • Other considerations (cost sharing and reporting impacts, etc.) • Future Questions to be Addressed: • Impact on RCR calculations and distributions • Impact on cost sharing
FAQ • Do I pro-rate the F&A rate if there is a change mid-budget year? • OSP has stated that we need to get Sponsor approval on the reallocation from F&A to direct costs on my new eligible award, because it is federal flow-through not under expanded authorities. How do I rebudget? Do I put the difference between 56% and 54% into direct costs?
