Grant Budgets: Calculating F&A May 21, 2009

What is F&A? Facilities and Administrative Costs – aka indirect costs. F&A covers institutional costs that could not easily be assigned to a particular project. ch_administration/docs/F&A%20info% 20for%20web%207%2014%2008.pdf ch_administration/docs/F&A%20info% 20for%20web%207%2014%2008.pdf

F&A Rate(s) F&A rate for Memphis – on-campus: 48% MTDC F&A rate for Memphis – off-campus: 26% MTDC F&A rate for GSM (COM-Knoxville): 38% MTDC F&A rate for COM – Chattanooga – n/a Rate Agreements: ation/FAQ.php#budgets ation/FAQ.php#budgets

What is MTDC? Modified Total Direct Costs: Total Direct Costs minus equipment, patient care, rent, that portion of each subaward over the first $25K

How do I calculate MTDC? Total Direct Costs (personnel salaries, fringe benefits, supplies, equipment, subawards, consultants, etc.) MINUS equipment ($5K and over), patient care costs, that portion of subs over $25K, rent) Equals MTDC

Example – Modular Budget, no equipment or subs Total Direct Costs = $250,000 Equipment 0 Modified Total Direct Costs = $250,000 x 48% = F&A Costs = $120,000 TDC + F&A = Total Costs = $370,000

Sample w/equipment Total Direct Costs = $250,000 Minus Equipment $50,000 Modified Total Direct Costs = $200,000 x 48% = F&A Costs = $96,000 TDC + F&A = Total Costs = $346,000

Sample Mod w/One Subaward Direct Costs, including Sub TC of $105,000 –less Sub F&A = $250,000 Sub F&A $30,000 Total Direct Costs$280,000 Minus Subaward over $25K = $80,000 Modified Total Direct Costs = $200,000 x 48% = UT F&A = $96,000 TDC + F&A = Total Costs = $376,000

Sample Mod w/Equipment & Subaward under $25K Direct Costs, including Sub DC of $12,000, less Sub F&A = $250,000 Sub F&A 5,000 Total Direct Costs$255,000 Minus Equipment 25,000 (Subaward $12,000 DC, 5,000F&A) Modified Total Direct Costs = $230,000 x 48% = UT F&A Costs = $110,400 Total Costs = $365,400

Sample w/Equipment & Subaward over $25K – Modular Grant Direct Costs, including Sub TC of $30K, less Sub F&A = $250,000 Sub F&A - $10,000 Total Direct Costs $260,000 Minus Equipment 25,000 Minus Sub TC over $25K 5,000 Modified Total Direct Costs = $230,000 x 48% = F&A Costs = $110,400 Total Costs $370,400

Sample w/Equipment & Subaward over $25K ($50K) – Non-Modular Grant Total Direct Costs = $350,000 Minus Equipment 25,000 (Subaward total costs = 50,000) Minus Sub TC over $25K 25,000 Modified Total Direct Costs = $300,000 x 48% = F&A Costs = $144,000 TDC + F&A = Total Costs = $494,000
