Dept. of Defense IDC Cap
Q1: I was approached by my DoD Component Program Manager to submit a proposal using the 15% IDC rate. Can I submit using the UW federally negotiated rate?
A1: The UW is not adopting the 15% rate and in light of the 6/17/2025 temporary restraining order (TRO), we can respond and use our federally negotiated rate.
Q2: I have an active DoD award. If I am asked to rebudget, should I?
A2: The DoD Memo indicates that current awards may operate under the originally determined indirect cost rate until a renegotiation is completed, citing a date no later than November 10th. While the recent temporary restraining does not address the renegotiation of rates on active awards, the case continues on all elements of the policy and the UW will not submit revised budget documents using the capped rate
