Please visit the RWJF website to read the full details & FAQs of their Rate Policy

New Rates:

The rates below are the indirect cost rates allowed under this policy and may be applied to the direct costs of the project or program we are supporting. 

*No rate change

Notes:

• If consultants/contractors costs (i.e., sub-contracts or sub-grants[4]) constitute more than one-third of the total direct costs of the project or program, the allowable indirect cost rate on those third-party costs is limited to 5 percent. See FAQ #6

• This policy does not require grantees to substantiate their indirect cost rate. Grantees may simply charge the flat rate that applies to their organization type (i.e., 12% or 20%) even if their actual rate is lower

• The maximum indirect cost rates apply to both the primary applicant organization and any sub-grantee or sub-contractor costs up to the rate applicable to their organization type.  For example: if a U.S. university is the primary grantee and has a U.S.-based nonprofit organization as a sub-grantee, the U.S. university is eligible to receive a 12 percent indirect cost rate, while the U.S.-based nonprofit organization is eligible to receive a 20 percent rate. Similarly, if a U.S. nonprofit organization is the primary grantee and a for-profit organization is a subcontractor, the U.S. nonprofit organization may receive a 20 percent indirect cost rate, while the for-profit subcontractor may not apply indirect costs (0%). See related question #6 for additional information
