Fringe Benefit Rates -
The University does not have a federally negotiated fringe benefit rate. The benefit rate used for budgeting for faculty and staff is usually 31%. This is a university wide average rate. However, in cases where an employee's actual fringe costs are higher than the 31% average rate, it is acceptable to budget at the higher, actual rate. This is most likely to happen when the employee has a low salary, and elects a higher cost health care plan. All proposers should consult with the Office of Sponsored Programs on fringe rates early in the budgeting process. For students, the fringe rate for budgeting is 7.65%.
Grants are charged the actual costs of the fringe benefits provided.
DO NOT use the terms overhead and fringe interchangeably. They are actually very different.
Overhead is an indirect cost that is a negotiated rate the university is allowed to charge to recoup the costs for things like heating and cooling the buildings, maintenance, etc.
Fringe benefits are a direct cost for the benefits provided to the individual employees.
The following listed rates are for budgeting purposes. Since overhead is not based on an actual cost, it is charged at the budgeted rate, per federal regulations.
Tuition Remission for External Grants
The following memorandum governs the support of graduate students from research grants beginning with the 2020-2021 academic year. This policy will be revisited each academic year. The purpose of this policy is to encourage and reward research grant activity while being able to account for tuition remission under current budgetary models and constraints. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact the Office of Sponsored Programs.
