It is the University's policy to require the inclusion of full F&A cost recovery on all proposals for external funding, except gifts. Unless a sponsor has a published policy requiring a lower F&A rate or disallowing F&A, deviation from this policy is not permitted without special approval from the Vice Provost for Research.
