Mission Statement Cost Allocation Services (CAS) is committed to providing the highest level of indirect cost rate and cost allocation plan negotiation services to Federal Departments and Agencies where HHS is designated by OMB as the cognizant Federal Agency. We will be the Agency of choice for providing technical guidance and assistance regarding the development of indirect cost rates and cost allocation plans. Our professional staff is recognized for their technical knowledge and professional expertise. Although CAS represents the Federal Government during negotiations and has a fiduciary responsibility to protect the public funds, we will be fair, reasonable and equitable when communicating and negotiating with the grantee community.

FAQ - Appendix III – 3: Salaries above the HHS/NIH Statutory Limitation – Inclusion in MTDC Base*
Appendix III, A. 1.a.(3) states: “Only mandatory cost sharing or cost sharing specifically committed in the project budget must be included in the organized research base for computing the indirect (F&A) cost rate or reflected in any allocation of indirect costs. Salary costs above statutory limits are not considered cost sharing.” > Policy has not changed in this area. Salary costs above the NIH salary limitation are not cost sharing amounts. These costs are unallowable costs. Unallowable costs must be included in the appropriate MTDC cost base. Therefore the salary in excess of the NIH salary limitation must be included in the appropriate base for the F&A rate calculation according to where the individual effort was performed. These costs may not be considered voluntary uncommitted cost sharing and eliminated from the base. NACCA - BETHESDA Oct 15,
