Does the $2 million direct cost limitation for Network applications include the indirect costs of the subcontracts? Is the budget for the Networks $2 million total or $2 million per year?
A1: The facilities and administrative costs requested by the consortium participants are not included in the direct cost limitation. Please refer to NIH policy on contract/consortium F&A costs (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-05-004.html). The budget limit is $2 million per year.
