Modified Total Direct Costs

MTDC (modified total direct costs) are total costs less exclusions. Generally, MTDC should only be used when calculating F&A on Federal proposals. F&A on budgets to non-federal sponsors should be calculated using TDC (Total Direct Costs) unless sponsor specific guidelines stipulate specific restrictions.

Per our negotiated F&A agreement, exclusions are: capital expenditures (buildings, individual items of equipment greater than $5,000, alterations and renovations); that portion of each Subaward in excess of $25,000; hospitalization and other fees associated with patient care whether the services are obtained from an owned, related or third party hospital or medical facility; rental/maintenance of off-site activities; student tuition remission and student support costs (e.g. student aid, stipends, dependency allowances, scholarships, fellowships).
