Hi All,

I’m working on a couple CPRITS which allow the use of unrecovered F&A as cost share.  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!
