The rate change is applicable to all new awards (Requests For Assistance, or RFA’s) and Requests for Continued Assistance (RCA’s) issued on or after July 1, 2006. Consistent with current overhead recovery policies and award agreement terms, the maximum overhead requirement will apply both to the award issued to the Recipient’s institution and to any subcontracts that are issued by the institution in the performance of the award. The rate change was made by the AV Board of Directors in response to constraints in federal funding and resulting cost-reduction mandates from the federal agency that funds AmericaView.
