FY26-27 ONR IDC Rate Agreement (PDF)

Indirect Cost Rate Note: Mines’ approved indirect cost rate is negotiated with our cognizant audit agency, the Office of Naval Research. The Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC) base is calculated by excluding capital expenditures (buildings, individual items of equipment, alterations and renovations), the portion of each subaward in excess of $25,000, participant support costs, and graduate student tuition, fees, and insurance.
