Dear faculty colleagues,

I write to share a message from UC System Provost Katherine Newman regarding the new federal government issued guidelines for indirect cost recovery (also known as “Facilities and Administration” costs, or F&A) for all grants, present and future, awarded by the National Institutes of Health. Note that if you are preparing an NIH grant at this time, you should consult with the Office of Research for guidance.

In addition, please continue to reference the UC Irvine Office of Research webpage for research updates and the Office of the President Federal Updates webpage for information on topics including research, financial aid, and immigration. It will be kept current as new information becomes available.

Sincerely,

Hal Stern
Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor
Distinguished Professor, Department of Statistics
