Public Comment: Note concerning indirect costs in REU Site proposals: Indirect costs should be charged in accordance with the proposing organization's negotiated indirect cost rate agreement and the approved base as stated in that agreement. Questions about whether particular items (e.g., student stipends, housing costs, meal costs, travel costs) should be excluded from the application of indirect costs should be directed first to the office responsible for developing the organization's indirect cost rate proposal, and then--if that office cannot resolve the question -- to the cognizant Federal agency responsible for negotiating the indirect cost rate agreement. For all organizations, the underlying principle remains that the negotiated indirect cost rate agreement and the application base specified in that agreement determine whether indirect costs can be claimed on a particular expense line item. There is no overall NSF-imposed limitation that all Participant Support Costs are excluded from receiving indirect costs. Budget line items F (Participant Support Costs: F1 Stipend, F2 Travel, F3 Subsistence, and F4 Other) may or may not bear indirect costs in accordance with the negotiated rate agreement and the application base specified therein.
