Emory University has concluded negotiations with the Department of Health and Hu- man Services (DHHS) regarding the University’s F&A rates. This memo serves as
an immediate notice of the new F&A rates that should be used when preparing pro- posal budgets for prospective awards with project periods in fiscal 2013 and future years. The official agreement, dated February 6, 2012, officially covers fiscal years 2011 through 2015, although rates are only “new” for fiscal years 2013 – 2015.
The table below reflects the current and new rates that will be covered by the new agreement:
