Similar to the overhead costs of a business, facilities and administrative costs reflect actual expenses incurred in support of the UW's sponsored activities. F&A cost rates are based on the UW's actual operating costs for a given base year. Using guidelines provided by the federal government, the UW captures and calculates F&A costs on a regular basis. These costs are allocated to different activities, such as research or teaching, proportionate to the benefit provided. Once all F&A costs are determined, the University determines the portion of costs that are related to sponsored research activities. This information is then submitted to, and reviewed by, the Federal government, and F&A cost rates are negotiated approximately every 4-5 years.\u003Cbr>During the next few months, our office will be asking for additional information from our recharge and cost centers to support development of the F&A proposal.\u003Cbr>If you manage a center, please consider beginning to gather the following information related to the center’s activity: |  |  |\n| Space:\u003Cbr>◊ FacNum of space the center operated in during FY 2013\u003Cbr>◊ Room numbers of the space the center operated in during FY 2013\u003Cbr>◊ Facility Name of the space the center operated in during FY 2","cbCaia7KGu2rOBBR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia7KGu2rOBBR","pdf",41342,"English","# Annual Rate Reviews\n# Machinery and Equipment (M&E) Sales Tax Exemption\n# Facilities & Administrative\n## Space and Equipment Data Requests\n# Brown Bag Session","[{\"question\":\"What information should be submitted to share an idea for process improvement related to the Recharge Process?\",\"answer\":\"Complete the provided survey or send an email, and include the idea owner, the idea/opportunity, a proposed solution if known, and your involvement (lead, work group, provide advice, or unable to participate).\"},{\"question\":\"How do recharge centers and cost centers obtain annual rate review and approval?\",\"answer\":\"Recharge centers require annual rate review and approval by the Dean’s/VP’s office and MAA.
