Question

What is the F&A rate for the use of the Campus Computing Cluster or the use of contracted cloud services?

Answer

The use of the Campus Computing Cluster or the use of contracted cloud services is not subject to facilities and administrative costs. The decision to not charge F&A on these services provides flexibility for our investigators to choose the best technical solution to support their research compute and storage needs. For the campus, the decision promotes cost efficiencies through a reduction in the use of space and consumption of utilities when an investigator elects to use an externally contracted cloud provider. The account code to use for Cloud Computing Services, including Amazon Web Services (AWS) is 155211, and the account code to use for the Illinois Campus Cluster Program (ICCP) is 155210.
