The University of Oklahoma negotiates our rate agreements with the cognizant agency, Department of Health and Human Resources. These rates are used on all sponsored proposal submissions to any organization. Some agencies call this a NICRA (Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement). We have four established rates based on Activity:
Calculated on a modified total direct cost base (MTDC). All direct salaries and wages, applicable fringe benefits, materials and supplies, services, travel and up to the first $25,000 of each subaward. Modified total direct costs shall exclude equipment, capital expenditures, charges for patient care, rental costs, tuition remission, scholarships and fellowships, participant support costs and the portion of each subaward in excess of $25,000. Other items may only be excluded when necessary to avoid a serious inequity in the distribution of indirect costs, and with the approval of the cognizant agency for indirect costs.
