The MIT/Whitehead Institute (WIBR) affiliation agreement allows WIBR faculty to submit proposals via the Institute as they also have appointments in the MIT Biology Department. These proposals would be for awards they would not be eligible to receive if they were to submit directly through Whitehead (e.g., solicitations that must be submitted by an educational institution).
The proposal budget should include WIBR direct and indirect costs using WIBR’s current rates and a line item defined as “Subaward-first $25,000 subject to F&A”. MIT enters its own current F&A rate on $25,000 on that categorical budget line and submits the proposal.
The resulting award follows MIT subaward processes.
