    Regulatory Guidance

    A-21 Cost Principles for Educational Institutions

    A-122 Cost Principles for Non-Profit Organizations

    A-133 Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations

    45 CFR Part 74, Appendix E Cost Principles for

    Hospitals

    Cost Principles

    Reasonable (prudent person)

    Allowable (accordance with cost principles/sponsor terms)

    Allocable (directly benefit specific research project)

    Necessary (required to perform project)

    Consistently treated(method used to estimate, record and

    report costs)

    Conform to any limitations or exclusions by the agency

    Direct costs

    Costs that can be identified specifically with a particularsponsored project or can be directly assigned to projectactivity relatively easily with a high degree of accuracy.

    Indirect costs (Facilities & Administration F&A)

    Costs that are incurred for common or joint objectivesand, therefore, cannot be identified readily andspecifically with a particular sponsored project, aninstructional activity, or any other institutional activity.

    Budgeting costs

    Direct vs Indirect

    Direct costs can be identified and charged to aspecific project with relative ease and with a highdegree of accuracy

    - Salaries and fringe benefits

    - Equipment

    - Travel

    - Supplies

    - Patient Care Costs

    - Other Direct Cost- Consortia/Subcontracts

    SalariesClerical and administrative program or financial considered

    F&A (indirect cost) unless major program as defined by A-21* Large complex programs such as research centers, program projects, etc.,

    entailing assembling and managing teams of investigators from a number ofinstitutions.

    Project which involve extensive data accumulation, analysis and entry,surveying, tabulation, cataloging, searching literature, and reporting

    Projects that require making travel and meeting arrangements for large numberof participants, such as conferences and seminars.

    Projects whose principal focus is the preparation and production of manuals andlarge reports, books and monographs (excludes routine progress reports andtechnical reports).

    Projects that are geographically inaccessible to normal departmental services,

    such as research vessels, astronomy, field sites.

    Individual projects requiring project-specific database management;individualized graphics or manuscript preparation; human or animal protocols,and multiple project-related investigator coordination and communications.

    Office Supplies: Office supplies that are normally used in the generaladministrative support of a project should not be included in the budget. Officesupplies that are used exclusively for project-specific activities may beincluded in the budget. Since many items of office supplies are used for bothgeneral administrative support and project-specific activities, it is importantthat these items, when included in the budget, be described in terms of theirproposed use and arrangements made to segregate the items.

    Local Telephone Costs: Local telephone, pagers, cell phones, and internetused to conduct routine business of the project should not be included in thebudget. Telephone lines, including data lines, modems, and freezer alarmsthat are exclusively for project-specific activities may be included in the

    Consistency in estimating, accumulating and reporting costs:

    a. An educational institution's practices used in estimating costs in pricing

    a proposal shall be consistent with the educational institution's cost

    accounting practices used in accumulating and reporting costs.

    b. An educational institution's cost accounting practices used in

    accumulating and reporting actual costs for a sponsored agreement shall

    be consistent with the educational institution's practices used in estimating

    costs in pricing the related proposal or application.

    c. The grouping of homogeneous costs in estimates prepared for proposal

    purposes shall not per se be deemed an inconsistent application of costaccounting practices under subsection (a) when such costs are

    accumulated and reported in greater detail on an actual cost basis

    during performance of the sponsored agreement.

    recruitment, follow-up, data collection, and ... He will alsoparticipate in the data analysis and interpretation as well aswriting papers and presentations resulting from this project.

    Modular Budget Justification

    Variation in Modules (This additional narrative budget justification isprovided because there is a variation in the number of modules

    requested.)

    There is an increase in modules in Year 2 of the project duringthe full year of recruitment and follow-up of subjects. Additionalinvestigator, study coordinator and data technical time isnecessary to meet the targets of the study. In Year 5, fewermodules have been requested during data analysis andmanuscript development.

    Fringe benefits have been calculated based on the current negotiated rates with DHHS.Salaries and fringe benefits have been escalated 3% annually.

    Consultants: Dr. John Consultant is a Professor at the University of California-SanDiego. He will serve as the biostatistician for the Data and Safety Monitoring Board(DSMB) created for this project, and he will also advise on the randomization for all studyparticipants. Funds are requested for 4 days each year at $500 per day. In addition, fundsare requested for travel to include airfare ($600), hotel accommodations ($185), meals andground transportation ($90) for 2 trips per year. Total requested $3,930. An increase of 3%is requested for travel in years 2-5.

    Traditional Budget Justification

    Equipment: We request the purchase of one 80 freezer to isolate and store subjectsamples.

    Supplies: Mycoplasma laboratory expenses. Since respiratory cultures for Mycoplasmaare not "routine care," the cost of these cultures will be borne by the grant and not thepatients. The expenses are based on our projection of enrolling 80 respiratory patients peryear and obtaining two cultures on each patient (viz., nasopharyngeal swab, inducedsputum or sputum, if obtainable). Cultures will be performed by a commercial laboratory(Yahoo, Kalamazoo, MI) and the cost per culture is $205; however, Duke receives a 20%discount, so each culture will cost $171, or $27,360 per year ($171 x 2 x 80).

    Other supplies. The expenses for PCR reagents and consumable laboratory supplies arereasonable costs based on our current budget for similar molecular studies. Funds havealso been requested for container storage and shipping materials to send samples.

    Travel: We request $3,000 per year to permit two investigators to attend national orinternational scientific meetings to present the results of this project. An increase of 3%is requested for years 2-5.

    Other Expenses: Subject reimbursement has been requested at a cost of $200, withpartial payment of $50 being made for completing the baseline assessment, $75 uponcompletion of 6 and 12 month follow-ups. Funds budgeted for this expense in Years 1-4 are $4,000 per year. (80 x $50 baseline; 80 x $75 6 mos; 80 x $75 12 mos =$16,000/4 years = $4,000 per year). In addition, we have requested parking for eachsubject at $6.00 for each visit $960 per year. Funds are requested for express mail tosend samples to lab in Years 1 through 4.

    In Year 5, we request $4,000 for publication costs to help defray costs associated withpublication of articles in journals and preparation of prints, slides, and posters fornational meetings.

    Traditional Budget Justification

    Outpatient care: Laboratory tests and clinical procedures will be performed onsubjects recruited as detailed in the Research Plan. Costs are based on DukeUniversity Medical Center approved research charges. In calculating total costs, wehave assumed that 20% of the 100 screened subjects will not be eligible or will requireadditional testing for evaluation for drug toxicities or other abnormalities during thestudy. This figure is based on our experience with ongoing studies. For the 80subjects, we request $60,000 in each Year 2 and Year 3 for the following tests:

    CBC with differential 80 $23 $ 1,840EKG technical & professional 80 $77 $ 6,160CT Chest technical & professional 80 $650 $52,000Total costs $60,000
