The FY26 Colleges and Universities Rate Agreement can be found on the Brown University Controller website.
- No changes have been made to the Indirect Cost Rates
- The (Full Time) Fringe Benefit Rate has changed from 29.50% to 30% and will automatically default, as such, in your Huron Funding Proposal (FP) budget
- The (Part Time) Fringe Benefit Rate changed from 6.90% to 7.40%. Like before, this will involve a manual update to your budget for Part Time personnel
The Full Time Fringe Benefit Rate change is effective as of July 1, 2025, and the Huron system has already been updated in anticipation of any FP that is created with a start date of July 1, 2025 or later.
Please note:
- If you create a FP that has a start date prior to July 1, 2025, you will need to manually change the default fringe rate in your budget(s) to 29.5% for Full Time personnel
- If your budget includes Part Time personnel you will need to manually update the fringe benefit rate as you have been doing already. Specifically:
- FP with a start date prior to July 1, 2025, change the Part Time Fringe Rate to 6.90% (the FY25 part-time rate)
- FP with a start date on/after July 1, 2025, change the Part Time Fringe Rate to 7.40% (the FY26 part time rate)
