These rates are applied to a base of modified total direct cost (MTDC), meaning that the appropriate rate is charged on: salaries and wages, fringe benefits, materials and supplies, services, travel and up to the first $25,000 of each subgrant or subcontract
Modified total direct costs do not include the cost of : * equipment, capital expenditures, charges for patient care, tuition remission, rental costs of off-site facilities, scholarships and fellowships, and the portion of each subgrant or subcontract in excess of $25,000
* For grant budgeting purposes, equipment is defined as tangible, nonexpendable, personal property having a useful life of more than one year and an acquisition cost of $5,000 or more per unit. The off-campus rate is to be used only if the project is conducted at locations other than in UNC owned or operated facilities or property for three consecutive months (or for the duration of any project lasting less than three months), and where costs associated with the physical plant and library are not considered applicable to the project. Projects that are conducted partially on and also off-campus for three consecutive months or more should pro-rate the F&A charges accordingly.

PROPOSAL REVIEW & SUBMISSION Proposals or Requests for Support that Require Institutional Submission The Assistant Vice President for Research is designated as the Institutional Authority on proposals and other requests for project support that are submitted to institutions and organizations external to the University. The AVPR has delegated that authority to the Office of Sponsored Programs. All requests for external support are to be submitted by OSP on behalf of the University . This includes the following: | Types of proposals: | Letter requests
Preliminary proposals that include any budget information or commitment of resources
Full proposals
Information to be included in a collaborator's proposal to a prime sponsor | | Types of submissions: | Hard copy by mail, express delivery service, or delivered by hand
Electronic submissions, including email and web-site forms | | NOTE: Occasionally funding agencies offer support for projects based on informal communications with an investigator. During any such communications, the investigator should always inform the external organization of UNC's policies, including the appropriate F&A and fringe benefit rates, and recovery of full project costs. The organization should also be informed that the University will not accept an award in these circumstances until a scope of work and budget for the project have been reviewed and approved through UNC's standard proposal processing procedures.. |
Internal Review and Endorsement of Proposals Proposals must be reviewed and endorsed at two levels before OSP is authorized to submit them to sponsors. The first level is that of school directors, department chairs, center or office directors; and the second level is college deans or division vice presidents. The Proposal Review and Approval Form (PRAF) is used to route proposals and obtain signatures of endorsement. The PREF is an internal form that is not submitted to sponsors with proposals; it identifies basic proposal and investigator information, a conflict of interest certification, other compliance and commitment issues related to the proposal. PREFs are required for all proposals, regardless of the type of sponsor or the size of the request. It is important for grant-writers to plan early and work with the appropriate offices to ensure there will be time for review of proposals and be available for signatures, as proposals will not be submitted without complete and fully signed PREFs. |
