How should F&A be calculated and detailed on the routing form and NIH checklist for Modular Grants?
Both the application and routing from should reflect the same numbers which are the modular direct costs (estimated to the next highest $25,000), minus exclusions, times F&A rate. However, OSP still needs to see a detailed budget with justification to make sure that the correct categories are charged, that the correct exclusions have been taken, and that the budget is reasonable. This detailed budget will remain in the official file at UMBC and may be modified at the time of award, if necessary.
