The Academy of Natural Sciences has finalized its negotiation of its indirect cost rates for grants, contracts, and other agreements with the federal government effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. These rates as well as the finalized FY’24 rates have been posted on the Comptroller’s website along with the new rate agreement from the United States Department of the Interior.
Fiscal year 2026 (FY26) is considered a base year for developing the facilities and administrative (F&A) rate proposal for submission to the Division of Cost Allocation (DCA) of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The F&A rate proposal is the tool used to set the indirect cost rates for the University. Our proposal is required to be submitted to DCA by December 31, 2026, based on the FY26 financial activity.
