Residual Funds from Fixed Price Awards

When residual funds from fixed-price awards are transferred off of the sponsored project to a Sponsored Residual account, ASU must first recover its portion of Indirect Costs at ASU’s full federal Facilities & Administrative (F&A) cost rate. This applies even to accounts with a reduced F&A rate. Also, justifications for any residual balances greater or equal to 20% of the total award after all final accounting adjustments, must be reviewed and approved by the Award Management Team (AMT) Assistant Director.
