Average Recovery Burden Rate (ARBR) The ARBR model is an extension of the direct cost model approach based on an average of direct cost compensation (71%) and operating cost (29%) assumption for Other Sponsored projects. This model converts the approved ICR rates into an average recovery burden rate based on the direct cost 71%/29% assumption. The following table lists the conversion percentages: Indirect Cost Recovery Rate Average Recovery Burden Rate 59% 83% 69% 98% 73% 103% 75% 106% 82.7% 117% 100.0% 141% Standard Indirect Cost Rate (ICR) Guidance Rates for Federal and Through: On-Site Off-Site* Individual Competitive Federal Awards 69.0% 48.5% Federal Non IR&D (NSF) 59.0% 39.5% – Federal Initiatives 73.0% 48.5% Rates for all other sponsors are as follows: State of 59% , Counties and other 69% All State Governments, Counties and Cities 69% All other sponsors; Foundations, Commercial, Foreign, Non-profit Organizations and other governmental type entities, like Municipalities and Irrigation Districts. 75% to 100% Note: PI’s are encouraged to negotiate rates above 75% whenever possible with other sponsors who have the ability to pay the higher rate. *Off-site Projects are those solely conducted in facilities and offices not owned by DRI. The off-site indirect cost rate will apply to projects that meet the following criteria: 1) The effort on a project is solely performed in facilities not owned by the Institute; and 2) The off campus rate was proposed in the original budget.
