Sponsor Salary Limitations

NIH, DOJ, NIFA:

Based on the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) Executive and Senior Executive Service Level Employee Pay Tables for 2025, effective January 1, 2025, the following annual salary limits (exclusive of fringe benefits and F&A) apply for an individual’s salary charged to projects: HHS NIH: $225,700; OJP DOJ: $248,270; USDA NIFA: $195,200.
Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI): $200,000
NIH Graduate Student:
The maximum amount awarded by the NIH for the support of a graduate student on a research grant or a cooperative agreement is tied to the ‘zero level’ National Research Service Award (NRSA) stipend in effect at the time the grant award is issued. The amount provided for compensation includes salary or wages, fringe benefits, and tuition remission. The schedule for NRSA stipends can be found at http://grants.nih.gov/training/nrsa.htm (see Kirschstein-NRSA Stipend Levels near the bottom of the NRSA web page).
NSF Senior Personnel:
As a general policy, NSF limits salary compensation for senior project personnel to no more than two months of their regular salary in any one year (Summer through Spring semesters). This limit includes salary compensation received from all NSF-funded grants.

Escalation Factors for Proposal Budgets

Sponsored Research Administration encourages investigators to include a reasonable increase in all budget categories to account for inflation in subsequent budget years. Typical increases for salaries and fringe benefits are 1-5% per year. The section on Graduate Tuition Waivers suggests a 1% escalation factor. Escalation rates may be limited by the sponsor. Consult the sponsor’s guidelines or ask the appropriate SRA administrator what rate is generally accepted by a particular sponsor.

Fringe Benefits

The following information regarding Fringe Benefits Rates is for proposal budget development purposes: Fringe benefits should be clearly stated in every proposal’s budget explanation (a.k.a. narrative, justification), and the accuracy of those fringe benefit is the responsibility of the PI. The PI should include sufficient funds in the proposed budget to ensure that fringe benefits associated with sponsor-paid salaries are sufficient. The following pooled rates should be used in calculating fringe benefits on proposals with start dates on or around July 1, 2025.

Please note that these rates include ALL fringe benefits including health insurance.

Definitions

MTDC (Modified Total Direct Costs)
Consists of all direct salaries and wages, applicable fringe benefits, materials, supplies, services, travel and up to the first $25,000 of each subgrant or subcontract (regardless of the period of performance covered by the subgrant or subcontract). Modified total direct costs shall exclude equipment costing $5,000 or more, capital expenditures, charges for patient care, student tuition remission, rental costs of off-site facilities, scholarships, fellowships and participant support costs as well as the portion of each subgrant and subcontract in excess of $25,000.
For projects anticipated to start on or after July 1, 2025: The current Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA) ends June 30, 2025.  FSU anticipates the next NICRA will revise the definition of MTDC to include the first $50,000 of each subgrant or subcontract and exclude equipment costing $10,000 or more. These changes are reflective of the changes to Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) that went into effect on October 1, 2024.  SRA recommends drafting proposal budgets for projects with anticipated start dates on or after July 1, 2025 to consider these anticipated changes.
TDC (Total Direct Costs)
This typically includes all direct costs without any exclusions.  However, at FSU this includes all direct costs with the exception of student tuition remission. If an agreement is funded with federal flow through funds, the total F&A recovered cannot exceed what would have been recovered had the University’s negotiated rate been applied.
Off-Campus Rate
For all activities performed in facilities not owned by FSU and to which rent is directly allocated to the project(s), the off-campus rate will apply. If more than 50% of a project is performed off campus, the off-campus rate will apply to the entire project.
