This rate should be used in all grant applications, both federal and non-federal, submitted by the University, unless the program guidelines specifically state a rate less than Winthrop's Facilities and Administrative Rate or prohibit the recovery of administrative overhead costs.

Any variance from the application of this rate must be approved by GSRD.
