with the budget: "In the absence of written policies regarding administrative costs and in accordance with University of Chicago policy, administrative costs of 20% of total direct costs have been included. If the (foundation/association/organization) has a stated policy regarding provision of administrative costs, we request that notification of that policy be made a part of the award notice." |
