This fringe rate applies to all categories of pay including regular pay, additional duties, summer salary, or interim pay. There are no fringe benefits on student workers or graduate assistants. Fringe benefits are also not included on any in-kind salary matches. Examples of such costs are maintenance, depreciation, general and departmental administration, utilities, janitorial services, accounting and purchasing services, research administration services, library operations, etc. The rate varies by agency.
Foundations usually allow a much smaller percentage, or none at all.
Also, please include with your routing forms, the agency specification that indicates the amount of indirect costs allowed or not allowed. Matching funds are sometimes required and indicate the University's commitment to the project. Do not include a match from Southeastern unless it is encouraged or required. The use of faculty time spent teaching a course that supports or is relevant to the grant is sometimes used as a cash match. Cash match items have a direct impact on the University budgets and must be identified by a source budget account number.
