[Rowdy.research] Re: Unrecovered F&A on current cost share worksheet

Hi Liz, No override is needed. I will call you to walk through the budgeting procedure to isolate the mandatory match amount while accounting for the 5% F&A we are allowed to charge.

I’ve added Kirstin to this email as she is well-versed with cost share 😊 and may be able to provide guidance. When I enter cost share on our internal cost share calculation sheet, I do not see that the “unrecovered F&A” section is calculating on the difference of the budget request, but actually on the direct cost share portion. Should we just override the formula and enter that unrecovered F&A from the direct budget request in that section? I don’t do this often enough to remember the workaround; however, I think we may need to update the cost share worksheet to account for unrecovered F&A from the direct budget request not the direct cost share request only. I also pasted the section of the worksheet below the definition. That $37k that is calculated from the cost share request, not from what I have in the direct cost budget request. Hopefully, my question makes sense. Disclaimer: I may just misunderstand how this cost share worksheet is working (???) and welcome corrections to my interpretation 😉 Thanks!
