View Current Rate Agreement

The University has finalized new Facilities and Administrative (F&A or indirect cost) and Fringe Benefit (FB) cost rates for Drexel University and the Drexel University College of Medicine.  The negotiated F&A rates will be in effect from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2012.  The FB rates will continue to be negotiated on an annual basis.  The new rates reflect actual increases in the University’s cost of administrative/plant and fringe benefit expenses.

Please refer to the current rate agreement as you prepare new grant submissions.  While it is impossible to know today the exact amount of future rate increases beyond our negotiated agreement, further increases will likely occur.  We hope that planning for rate increases will help minimize budget hardship.
