Classification of Salaries 2011-12 Rate

• Faculty and Academic Staff 43%
• Classified Staff 88%
• LTE 35%
• Project and Teaching Assistants 42%
• Research Associates and Interns 32%
• Ad Hoc Program Specialists and Undergraduate Assistants 7.5%
• Student Hourly 0.5%  

Where do the rates come from?
Fringe benefit rates are set by UW System.  Visit their website to see a benefit category cost breakdown.    

What are the rates?
Indirect cost rates represent costs that cannot be directly linked to a specific grant proposal because they represent shared costs, such as utilities and office support. For example, costs will be incurred to keep the lights and heat on in buildings where grant activities take place; however, these items are shared by everyone at the institution and are not direct or exclusive to the grant work.

There are two rates; both are based on the total salaries, wages, and fringe benefits being requested in the grant or contract proposal:
     On-Campus Rate (2009-2012):  53.5%
     Off-Campus Rate (2009-2012):  16%

How do I know which rate to use?
Off-Campus = Work at facilities not owned by UW-Superior and where rent is allocated in the proposal budget.

Only one indirect cost rate may be used per proposal.
If greater than 50% of proposal work will occur off-campus, use the off-campus rate.

Where do the rates come from?
These rates are federally negotiated through the US Department of Health and Human Services. It is the policy of UW System to recover the federally negotiated indirect cost rate from all agencies that are legally bound by that agreement and from all other federal, state, and private funding sources that will reimburse the University at the negotiated rate.
