UC San Diego has completed negotiations with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the cognizant agency for our Facilities and Administrative rate agreement, resulting in multi-year increases to organized research indirect cost rates. While the approved rate agreement is pending finalization, DHHS has authorized the use of these rates in upcoming proposals.
The new rates listed below are effective July 1 of each fiscal year.
Organized Research:
- July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025: 59.0%
- July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026: 59.0%
- July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027: 60.0%
Instruction:
- July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2027: 52.2%
Ship Operations:
- July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2027: 11.7%
The rate increases over multiple years will require that split budgets be developed as the period of performance crosses fiscal years.
Implementation of this new rate is required for all proposals being prepared and submitted with a deadline date on or after June 1, 2024.
All active grants and contracts will continue at the rates established by the terms of such agreements.
Here is relevant link to the web page that address the new rates and reconfirm various other rates:
Rates for Other Sponsored Activities and Nimitz/Marine Physical Laboratory will not change in the final rate agreement is approved by DHHS. Therefore, current rates should continue to be applied until further notice.
The Office of Contract and Grant Administration (OCGA) and the Sponsored Project Offices are aware of the new rates and are available to work with faculty and department administrators to incorporate the new rates in their proposal budgets.
