The total cost of federally sponsored research includes a combination of both direct expenditures and facilities and administrative (F&A) costs, also known as indirect costs. Both types of expenditures are essential to an institution’s ability to conduct cutting-edge research. F&A costs consist of the construction and maintenance costs of laboratories and high-tech facilities; energy and utility expenses; and safety, security, and other government-mandated expenses. Research is impossible without the infrastructure investments that F&A costs create and sustain.
