What is a NICRA anyway?
Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA)
A Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA) is a formal agreement between an organization and a federal agency that establishes the indirect cost rate that the organization can apply to its federal grants and contracts. The NICRA process involves submitting a detailed proposal outlining the organization's indirect costs and negotiating with the federal agency to determine a fair and acceptable rate. This agreement helps ensure that organizations are adequately compensated for their indirect costs, allowing them to allocate more resources to their mission-driven activities.
