“Indirect Costs.

These costs include telephone, rent, consumable supplies, indirect salaries, interest, repairs, insurance, taxes, depreciation, etc.

“Management Costs. Management costs will be considered as part of the ordinary operating expenses of the Agency and/or an indirect cost and, therefore, will not normally be an eligible Study or Project cost. However, whenever management employees aremay be required to expend their time incidentally but directly related to the study or project to resolve difficult problems that cannot be handled by non-management Agency staff. sSuch costs may be considered eligible costs. The State Board Study or Project Manager will determine eligibility for each specific request.”
