Research Accounting & Funding Administration
Notification of Funding Awards
All SHA researchers who receive research funding to be administered through SHA, including grant funding, sponsored research, and donations, must notify the Contract and Funding Specialists by providing a copy of the award notice/letter. A study specific research account must be established before funds can be administered.
Institutional Overhead and Indirect Costs
To support the infrastructure, administrative services, and institutional resources required to conduct research, SHA applies a 30% institutional overhead rate for indirect costs to eligible research grants and service contracts. Researchers are encouraged to include these indirect costs in their funding applications and budgets whenever permitted.
