Space Survey

The University will be submitting a Facilities & Administrative (F&A) Cost Rate Proposal to the Department of Health and Human Services - Division of Cost Allocation on March 31, 2018. The base year for this proposal is FY2017.
The F&A Cost Rate Proposal is a compilation of financial and space data used to calculate a rate to reimburse the University for overhead costs associated with sponsored research and other sponsored projects. The F&A rate is essentially an overhead rate.
The last submission of the F&A Cost Rate Proposal was April 30, 2013 (base year FY2012).
Current F&A Rate FY 2017 and FY 2018 54%
The space survey is a critical part of the F&A Cost Rate Proposal. The results of the survey determine how most of the facility costs (depreciation, interest, and operations and maintenance expenses) in the F&A cost proposal will be allocated to University functions such as Instruction and Organized Research.
