When applying for grants, please use the below rate* table. These rates reflect a fair estimate of inflation. As such, they are subject to change, but changes need to be approved by the Protocol Review Committee (PRC). Please notice that for existing subcontracts with older rates, the Kirby Center will apply the rates according to the table. However, if the investigator depletes all funds designated in the existing subcontract, a request to fund the remainder of the study can be made to the PRC.
