they provide. My understanding is that we h</p>

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Even within the agreements though, the rate does appear to be a selection of choices (again as Karren noted). Madison did make it clear that I’d have to honor the rate they negotiated.</p>

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">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.</p>
