For non-federal sponsors, indirect costs rates, and bases for awards to Harvard within the last 5 years are available in GMAS on the “Recent overhead rates” section of each sponsor’s Organization page.

The University and the Harvard Chan School are committed to the recovery of the facilities and administrative costs incurred to support the performance of non-federal sponsored activities. For reasons of sound management and equitable stewardship of resources used in support of all sponsored activities, the University requires that non-federal sponsored projects attempt to recover the indirect costs of sponsored activity. 

The One-Page Non-Federal IDC Budget Tool must be used for all non-federally sponsored proposals, regardless of the proposed amount.
