    Overhead Rate for a non profit University
    I am working for a non profit University (Governmental). The university is receiving funds from external institutions to support various research projects. So I have been asked to provide the higher management with an accurate and reliable overhead rate in order to charge the stated research projects with overhead cost. However, I do not have a clear vision how I can reach this rate especially for a non profit university. Could you help me in this please.
    With thanks

    Seems like there are clear guidelines on what are included and what are not for your overhead rate.
