For this funding opportunity you may determine indirect costs using one of two methods:

Method 1 – Federally approved rate. Use the rate from your organization’s most recently approved federally negotiated indirect cost rate agreement.

Method 2 – De minimis rate. Per 45 CFR 75.414(f), if your organization does not have a federally negotiated indirect cost rate agreement, you may elect to charge a de minimis rate of 10% of modified total direct costs (MTDC). See 45 CFR 75.2 for the definition of MTDC. You can use this rate indefinitely. If you use this rate, you must use it for all federal awards unless you negotiate for a rate.
