Indirect Cost Rate

Indirect Cost Rate is the agreed percentage applied to eligible project costs to cover shared institutional expenses that support the research environment, such as facilities, utilities, administrative support, and compliance infrastructure. In industry-sponsored projects, the indirect cost rate may be negotiated with the sponsor and documented in the budget and agreement. The rate affects total project cost, pricing, and how the research effort is resourced beyond direct expenses.
