Instructions for the Grantee's Authorized Representative:
You must mark the one (and only one) checkbox above that best reflects how the Grantee's indirect costs will be
calculated and charged under the grant. Do not include indirect cost rate information for project sponsors.
The table following the third box must be completed only if that box is checked. When listing a rate in the table,
enter both the percentage amount (e.g., 10%) and the type of direct cost base to be used. For example, if the direct
cost base used for calculating indirect costs is Modified Total Direct Costs, then enter "MTDC" in the "Type of
Direct Cost Base" column.
If using the Simplified Allocation Method for indirect costs, enter the applicable indirect cost rate and type of
direct cost base in the first row of the table.
If using the Multiple Allocation Base Method, enter each major function of the organization for which a rate was
developed and will be used under the grant, the indirect cost rate applicable to that major function, and the type of
direct cost base to which the rate will be applied.
If the Grantee is a government and more than one agency or department will carry out activities under the grant,
enter each agency or department that will carry out activities under the grant, the indirect cost rate(s) for that
agency or department, and the type of direct cost base to which each rate will be applied.
To learn more about the indirect cost requirements, see 2 CFR part 200, subpart E; Appendix IV to Part 200 (for
nonprofit organizations); and Appendix VII to Part 200 (for state and local governments).
