[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We use a local university for some engineering / scientific work. Work is performed by *cleared* US citizens who are FT faculty or FT research staff — no students involved. Their overhead is about 55%, meaning we would pay $1.55 per hour if the university pays the employee $1.00 per hour. That overhead covers benefits, retirement, facilities, Computers, printers, and so on. If they can do this at 55%, I do not understand why some other non-profit is charging 70%, 80%, or more in overhead.[/quote] Well for one researchers and faculty at universities have no idea how much their presence contributes to overhead. Frankly neither does the University. At 55% your work is being subsidized by other University revenue streams. A faculty member who has job security and other benefits costs far less than a FFRDC employee. [/quote]
