1. Fixed Fringe Rate Agreement Announced (Thursday, July 2, 2020)
Dear Colleagues,
The University of Delaware has submitted FY21 Fringe Benefit Proposal to Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for the period 7/1/2020 to 6/30/2021. You will find a letter from the Office of the Vice President for Finance and Deputy Treasurer on the Research Office (RO) website for your reference. You will also find the new rates on the RO website in the UD Proposal Development Guide.
Effective immediately, all new proposals will use the provisional fringe rates which have been programmed into PeopleSoft. These rates will also be applied to existing awards. Please note that these provisional rates have not yet been finalized with our new cognizant agency, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
Several job aids have been revised for use by the research community regarding the fringe rates:
- Attached to this email please find an updated FY20-21 Salary Reference Sheet
- The Research Office has modified the budget template found on our website under Frequently Asked Questions, Getting Started, “How do I construct a budget?” to include the updated rates.
- The Research Office has also updated the budget justification template found on our website under Budgets & Rates, Budget Justification Template.
If you have any questions, please contact your Contract & Grant Specialist.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Friedland
Associate Vice President, Research Administration
