<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">The UC indirect cost rate for on-campus state-funded activities is 30% MTDC.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">The UC indirect cost rate for off-campus state-funded activities is 25% MTDC.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">The state rates noted above do not apply when a state agency is acting as a Pass Through Entity under a federal award and UC is classified as a Subrecipient. In those cases, the appropriate
federally negotiated rates apply.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">For “training” activities, a reduced rate of 8% MTDC will be accepted, consistent with NIH's F&A limitation for institutional training grants. This rate may be used for training grants
that are in support of UC's educational mission, and does not apply in instances where a UC campus provides training to a state agency.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">Existing VSPs remain unchanged.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

<p class="MsoNormal">RPAC will update its website as soon as feasible. Should your campus leadership support an exception to the above-noted rates for a particular project, please follow the existing process routing such request to REMS-Special Approval.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.<o:p></o:p></p>
