Have ever wondered why the University adds Facilities & Administrative (“F&A”) costs to sponsored project proposal budgets or generally what recovered F&A costs support on campus? If so, we encourage you to review a 5-minute video entitled Understanding the Real Costs of Research that we recently posted in the “Facilities and Administrative Cost Rates” section of the Budget Development Guide on the OSP website. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at osp@boisestate.edu.
