PrintThe Department of Health and Human Services-negotiated Facilities and Administrative Cost rate helps sponsors reimburse Harvard for those costs which are necessary for the performance of research, but, because of the nature of the costs, cannot be accurately assigned to a project. The F&A rate represents the average of these indirect costs across all sponsored projects.
Harvard has three indirect cost "rate areas". The FAS is governed by the "University Area" rates, which are as follows:
