[lstac] Help with Indirect Certification

[Reish, Karren (MDE)]

Are you referencing academic libraries? I understood it as public libraries are not likely to have their own indirect cost rate agreement from a federal agency so they could just take the de minimus by requesting in the budget of their grant application. For academic libraries, they must provide a current indirect cost rate agreement with a federal agency with their grant application and I keep that on file as part of their application documentation. I do have to squabble with universities sometimes when the agreement has multiple rates depending on the work being funded and they pick the highest rate, not the appropriate rate.

Does anyone have an example of what they share with libraries to certify the federal negotiated indirect rate?  Or can you at least help me explain to a library what I need to keep on file?  (I am supposed to keep something on file, right?)

Thank you!
