F and A Rates and Related Definitions

MTDC vs TDC base

If F and A is fully recoverable (at the rates marked above), the base is MTDC (Modified Total Direct Cost) which is the total direct cost with the following exclusions: student tuition, equipment ($10,000 and above), the portion of each individual subcontract and subgrant in excess of $50,000 (except for NIH which remains at $25,000), alterations or renovations, patient care cost and rental/maintenance expenses for off-site activities.
If F and A is not fully recoverable (at levels other than the rates marked above), the base is TDC (Total Direct Costs).

Organized research

Most university-related proposals are either applied or basic research.

Basic research

Proposals include expenditures for activities specifically organized to support basic research. Basic Research has the purpose of general increases in knowledge. No specific intent is required other than learning. The Basic Research may be narrowly focused on a particular field of study, but there is no specific practical use that drives the direction of the research. Examples of basic research may include laboratory work in biology, investigations into mathematical equations and studies on literary works.

Applied research

Proposal includes expenditures for activities specifically organized to support applied research. Applied Research has the purpose of meeting a specific goal. The goal (beyond the research itself) is well defined and the research is narrowly focused on obtaining that goal. The goal may or may not be commercial, but it always includes putting something into practical use. Examples of applied research include curriculum-planning and clinical research.

Instruction

Proposal primarily includes expenditures for credit/non credit courses, academic, vocational and technical instruction, remedial and tutorial instruction. For example, a proposal is "Instruction" if it is primarily designed to provide classes. A proposal to plan a curriculum but not teach a curriculum is not Instruction.

Other sponsored project

Proposal primarily includes activities established to provide non-instructional services beneficial to individuals/groups external to the institution, but does not include substantial research-related components.
