Finding Hope for Frizzle (FRRS1L) Policies
Grant Budget & Indirect Cost Guidelines
Grant budgetsare developed collaboratively with researchers and research institutions based on the scope, scientific merit, anticipated impact, and needs of the proposed project.
Finding Hope for FRRS1L is committed to directing the greatest possible share of donor funding toward research that advances treatments for individuals affected by FRRS1L. Accordingly, the Foundation generally funds only project-specific direct costs and does not pay indirect costs, facilities and administrative (F&A) costs, institutional overhead, or similar administrative charges, except in limited circumstances as permitted under the Foundation's Indirect Cost Policy.
Examples of allowable direct costs may include:
Personnel directly working on the project
Project-specific supplies and reagents
Laboratory or core facility services
Specialized software or equipment required for the project
Data acquisition and analysis
Publication or open-access fees
Participant or patient expenses related to the approved project
Examples of costs that are generally not funded include:
University overhead or F&A costs
Institutional administrative charges
General office expenses
General information technology or library services
Facilities and building operations not directly attributable to the project
Costs allocated through an institutional rate, percentage, formula, or general cost-allocation methodology
Grant recipients may be required to provide a line-item budget and supporting documentation sufficient to confirm that requested funds are for approved project-specific direct costs. Final funding terms are addressed in the applicable grant agreement.
