It is the policy of the University of Manitoba that all research and other academic and service programs contracts between the University and external sponsors are subject to indirect cost charges to recover indirect costs associated with the contract activities.

Indirect costs are charged in accordance with the Policy "Recovery of Indirect Costs".

Indirect costs recovered on grant and contract research and contracted academic and service programs will be distributed annually in accordance with the following:

1. Faculties, Schools and Type II Centres and Institutes 50%

In departmentalized Faculties, a minimum of 70% of the indirect costs received by the Faculty should be distributed to the Departments or other Units where the research and other academic and service programs contract work was performed unless a different sharing arrangement within the Faculty has been approved by the Vice-President (Research and External Programs).

2. General Revenue 30%

3. Research Development Fund 20%

Where research projects and other academic and service programs are undertaken using resources of other institutions and where there is an agreement to do so, the University shall first share indirect cost income with those institutions before sharing with faculties.

Where research projects and other academic and service programs involve more than one faculty, sharing between faculties shall be determined by the Vice-President (Research and External Programs).
