Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs are real and necessary university costs incurred for shared purposes and that support the overall operation of the institution. F&A costs cannot be identified specifically with a particular sponsored project, instructional activity, or any other institutional activity; nor can they be directly assigned to such activities with a high degree of accuracy without effort disproportionate to the results achieved.
