Fees
Center personnel do not work with proposals with no indirect funds associated with them unless a mechanism to cover the cost of our involvement is negotiated in advance with your division director, department chair or school dean.
If we work with you on a proposal and the proposal is submitted through the Center, we expect to be the grant administrator.
CWHR will recuperate the expense of pre-award services from the grant鈥檚 indirects if it is funded. However, the Center has an agreement in place with the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology to complete all pre-award services for their faculty without indirect recuperation.

- F&A Rate: 55.5%
- Indirects: $55,500
