Helpful Tips

Most USDA-NIFA projects are subject to the NIFA-19-010 2018 Farm Bill. This bill requires that, for indirect costs, we take the lesser of (a) 30% of the Total Federal Funds Awarded (TFFA), and (b) the applicable Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA) rate. In this iteration of the Farm Bill, USDA-NIFA confirmed the restriction is on project indirect costs, so indirect costs for subrecipients must be considered and factored.
