Cost Sharing in which the sponsor requires the university to match the level of grant funding in a specified proportion, such as a 50% match or a “1 to 1” match.

A legal document defining the conditions under which research or other materials can be transferred and used among research laboratories.

An award document that modifies any aspect of an existing award.

The basis on which F&A costs are calculated, including all direct salaries and wages, applicable fringe benefits, materials and supplies, services, travel, and up to the first $25,000 of each subaward (regardless of the period of performance of the subawards under the award). Excludes equipment, capital expenditures, charges for patient care, rental costs, tuition remission, scholarships and fellowships, participant supports costs, and the portion of each subaward in excess of $25,000.

**Additionally, the University has elected to waive F&A costs for Cloud Services coded 155211 and Illinois Campus Cluster Program (ICCP) coded 155210.  The decision to not charge F&A on these services provides flexibility for our investigators to choose the best technical solution to support their research compute and storage needs.  This is not a formal MTDC exclusion as outlined by Uniform Guidance, but a discretionary decision.  As a result, this waiver does not apply to other institution’s, specifically UIC and UIS.
