F&A Waiver Request
Attach this completed form within SAGE to request the use of a non-standard Facilities and Administrative (F&A) rate that does not fall into university policy for a specific sponsored project.
The UW does not waive F&A on federally funded programs, whether directly federally funded or via a pass-through entity, per Uniform Guidance sections 200.414(c) and 200.331(a)(4). The UW also does not waive F&A on industry funded programs.
The UW does not waive F&A costs unless the PI presents a justification as to why the UW should waive such costs which is accepted by the department, School and the Office of Sponsored Programs. Requests must be made using this F&A Waiver Request form to capture PI, department, and school approval prior to submission to OSP via SAGE.
Do not route an F&A Waiver Request to the OSP Director via DocuSign or send via email.
After an F&A waiver is approved or denied, the SAGE Budget attached to the request in SAGE (eGC1, Award Setup, Modification) needs to correspond with the approved F&A rate.
