Facts About Indirect Costs at NC State Without indirect costs, the future of Centennial Campus, as well as the future of the entrepreneurial spirit that drives the campus, is severely threatened. External grants and the indirect costs that accompany them are the fuel that drives the NC State research enterprise -- an enterprise that accounted for $170 million last year in external support and has a significant impact on the state's economy. Using indirect costs, NC State was able to recruit Dr. Ralph Dean, one of the world's top experts on fungal genomics, and to build the state-of-the-art Fungal Genomics Laboratory where he and his staff conduct their research aimed at protecting the world's food supply. www.ncsu.edu /indirectcosts/facts.html   (1025 words)

ISTSS :: Terrorism and Trauma : Indirect Trauma   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) The signs and symptoms of indirect trauma resemble those of direct trauma, though they are not always a “mirror image” of the client’s symptoms. Indirect trauma can have multiple negative effects on the individual, as well as on his or her family, friends and clients. If indirect trauma is not recognized as a critical aspect of this kind of work, professionals can become ineffective, have trouble with boundaries in helping relationships, withdraw from friends, family, and colleagues, and make bad judgments in their work. www.istss.org /terrorism/indirect_trauma.htm   (954 words)

MOODS IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE Indirect quotation, on the other hand, involving a readjustment of the original sentence to a new point of view, calls for a determination of the principles on which this readjustment is made. The principles of indirect discourse apply to all subordinate clauses which express indirectly the thoughts of another or of the speaker himself, even when the construction is not strictly that of indirect discourse. It is evident therefore that the principle of indirect discourse is not the same in English as in Greek, and that we cannot translate (4) into (3) by the same principle of equivalence of tenses which we employ in direct assertions. www.dabar.org /BurtonMoodsTenses/MOODS-INDIRECTDISCOURSE.html   (2875 words)

Indirect Cost Overview Indirect costs represent the expenses of doing business that are not readily identified with a particular grant, contract, project function or activity, but are necessary for the general operation of the organization and the conduct of activities it performs. An indirect cost rate represents the ratio between the total indirect costs and benefiting direct costs, after excluding and or reclassifying unallowable costs, and extraordinary or distorting expenditures. The indirect costs in the numerator of the equation should bear a reasonable relationship to the direct costs from the denominator. www.ed.gov /about/offices/list/ocfo/intro.html   (631 words)

Indirect Cost Determination Guidance for State and Local Government Agencies A. The indirect costs which are determined to be associated with federal programs in accordance with the procedures in OMB Circular A-87 will be recognized as part of the total cost of the federal projects, except where restricted or prohibited by law. A. The indirect cost determination effort for federal financial participation is viewed as a "funneling process." The first step requires the state and local unit of government to segregate the accounting of costs between indirect and direct with full cost reimbursement in mind. However, if the indirect cost functional unit is one level below the Chief Executive Officer of the grantee (or his Deputy or similar position) then the head of the indirect cost component, her/his secretary, and travel and other related office costs should be removed from the indirect cost pool and classified to the MTDC base. www.ed.gov /about/offices/list/ocfo/fipao/bluebookqas.html   (2454 words)

Indirect Fire Many of the procedures that are commonplace to artillerymen today were developed painfully during the period 1914-1917: establishing forward observer techniques, measuring and compensating for the effects of weather and worn barrels, and using ammunition from the same production lot to ensure that successive volleys fell in the same general area. The precision revolution progressed more slowly to indirect fire because to hit an unseen target with the first round required refinements in the ability to locate both the target and the firing position, as well as the ability to predict very accurately the ballistic course of a projectile. Indirect fires are simply not accurate enough to provide the close-in fires needed to accomplish the majority of the missions required of the maneuver. www.globalsecurity.org /military/systems/ground/indirect.htm   (2455 words)

The Indirect Initiative In the indirect initiative process, a proposed initiative is referred to the legislature after proponents have gathered the required number of signatures. However, if the indirect initiative is rejected by the Legislature, proponents must gather additional signatures equal to 10 percent of the votes cast for governor, creating a total signature threshold for indirect initiatives that is higher than that for direct initiatives. Most often, indirect initiatives are rejected by the legislature and end up on the ballot for a popular vote; the indirect process has done little but protract the initiative process. www.ncsl.org /programs/legismgt/elect/IndirInit.htm   (740 words)

Indirect Cooking The Indirect Method is similar to roasting, but with the added benefits of that grilled texture, flavor, and appearance you can't get from an oven.

Indirect branch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An indirect branch (also known as a computed jump, indirect jump and register-indirect jump) is a type of program control instruction present in some machine language instruction sets. Thus an example could be to 'jump indirect on the r1 register' would mean that the next instruction to be executed would be at the address whose value is in register r1. An indirect jump could then be made based on the value of that register, efficiently dispatching program control to the code appropriate to the input. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Indirect_branch   (263 words)
