Some Definition
(found on page 20-21 in your take home packet)

•
Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC) - The Modified Total Direct Cost base, or
MTDC, is used per the University's negotiated rate agreement. This includes most
direct costs, including all salaries and wages, fringe benefits, materials and supplies,
services, travel, and subgrants and subcontracts up to the first $25,000 of each
subgrant and subcontract (regardless of the period covered by the subgrant or
subcontract). Equipment, capital expenditures, charges for patient care and tuition
remission, rental costs, scholarships, and fellowships, as well as the portion of each
subgrant and contract in excess of $25,000 shall be excluded from modified total
direct costs.
Total Direct Costs (TDC) - Total Direct Costs are calculated the same way that we
calculated MTDC. The difference is that there are no direct cost category exclusions.
Because this is not the cost base on which our negotiated rate agreement is based, you
should only use this cost base if the sponsor specifically requires you to do so.
Total Cost (TC) - As with Total Direct Costs, you should only use Total Costs as a
cost base if the sponsor specifically requires it. Calculating your indirect costs using a
cost base of Total Costs is a bit more complicated than MTDC and Total Direct Costs.
Your first step will be to determine your Total Costs.
