It is the intent of the Legislature that projects funded under this article be reimbursed for actual costs, including direct costs and indirect costs incurred by a research institution consistent with federal guidelines. Indirect cost rates shall not exceed those allowable by the federal government for federally sponsored research. With respect to those institutions that have not negotiated a federal indirect cost reimbursement rate, the university will request information to verify the indirect cost rates.
