Unrecovered F&A

The Unrecovered F&A panel allows you to specify the how any project indirect costs which are not provided by the sponsor will be funded. 

The system generates an unrecovered amount under the following circumstances:

      When the “apply” box for the overhead rate on the line item expenses is unchecked, the system will apply the entire Institute rate as Unrecovered F&A.

      When the “apply” box for the overhead rate is checked, if the Applicable Rate is lower than the Institute Rate, the system will apply the difference as Unrecovered F&A.  If the Applicable Rate is over the Institute Rate a negative, Unrecovered F&A is generated

When Unrecovered F&A is generated on a budget, you need to identify the funding source(s) for the budget.  The sources of funding are identified in the Unrecovered F&A Distribution Section on the Distribution & Income Tab.

If the parameter ‘budgetUnrecoveredFandAEnforcementFlag’ is off (where the value is set to “0” to indicate disabled), KC does NOT require that the Total Cost Sharing amount be fully distributed in the current committed Award version
