F&A Waiver Request
Any request for a reduction of the full allowable F&A rate must be thoroughly justified and signed by the cognizant department chair and dean prior to submission of this form to OSP for consideration. It is critical to thoroughly justify how the benefit to the university outweighs the costs to the university. Any requests must be submitted well in advance of the proposal due date to ensure time for evaluation and responses. The Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation makes the final determination for all waiver requests following OSP review and documentation. You will be notified via email of the final determination.
