If the faculty member’s college, school or department has a policy to return RCR funds to faculty, the funds may be used to further support faculty research and/or other scholarly activities, including costs associated with sponsored proposal preparation. Fund use is flexible provided they are used in accordance with University and/or State rules and school/department guidelines.

The UW has complex approaches to budgeting and resource allocations. For indirect funds, however, the Provost’s current distribution policy (see OPB FAQ #2. What revenue is distributed by ABB?) is to allocate 65% of the funds to centrally fund facilities, compliance and administrative functions and 35% to schools and colleges, who then decide how much flows to departments/units or individual faculty.

Service and Recharge Centers are responsible for submitting rate proposals in a timely manner. Beginning March 2014 MAA will begin sending courtesy emails to the Service Center contacts reminding them of the need to submit a new rate proposal. This email will be sent approximately 6 weeks prior to the expiration of the current rates.
