Cost Studies

The Office of Cost Studies provides a variety of financial services to the University community. Aside from preparation of the University's Facilities and Administrative Cost proposal for the Federal government, we are involved in the following services. We prepare both the Federal and State A133 reports and are involved in the annual A133 audit. We monitor and provide guidance on the Faculty and Non Faculty effort reports, as well as record the results of those reports for the Facilities and Administrative Cost proposal, and the A133 audits.

We assist the University units with the functional coding of space in the Archibus space database, as well as prepare various reports on both restricted and unrestricted funds. We prepare the University IPEDS finance survey as well as prepare and assist with preparation of the LCMED surveys for the medical schools, the ADA survey for the dental school, the ACOM survey for the osteopathic medical school and the Middle States and National Science Foundation annual surveys.

Finally, we are involved with the allocation of Central Administration and Physical Plant costs to the University units at fiscal year end, and establishment of the University's effective fringe benefit rate for unrestricted funds.

We have included the General OMB A21 circular on this web site, as well as a guide to the functional coding of University space. We hope to provide more useful resource material at a future time.
