Change to Federal Subaward Threshold

MIT’s FY27 F&A rate agreement will reflect the subaward threshold increase from $25,000 to $50,000. For proposal budgeting of new awards with an anticipated start date on or after July 1, 2026, you will apply our F&A rate to the first $50,000 for each federal subaward. Subaward costs in excess of the first $50,000 are excluded from the award indirect cost calculation.

Reference: OMB Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200.1)

If you have any questions or concerns on this change (timing, calculation, etc.), please contact your RAS CA or RA Support (ra-help@mit.edu).
