General
This research was supported by grant, P30AG066614, awarded to the Center on Aging and Population Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin by the National Institute on Aging.

- IDC Policy
The Center on Aging and Population Sciences (CAPS) shares administrative services with the Population Research Center (PRC) at The University of Texas. Each September, the University returns to each College/School/Unit (CSU) 25% of all indirect costs (IDC) generated by the PIs in their CSU. The College of Liberal Arts (COLA) returns 72% of their IDC return to units (including CAPS and the PRC) administering each PI’s grant. Although CAPS/PRC are located in COLA, CAPS and the PRC are interdisciplinary research units that work with PIs across CSUs.
PIs who have received pilot funds from P30AG066614 or pilot funds from CAPS to support a new research project are required to have any funded grant projects resulting from pilot funds administrered through CAPS. The CAPS/PRC policy is that for any PI in a CSU outside of COLA, the PIs CSU will return half of their total IDC share to CAPS/PRC.
The IDC that CAPS/PRC receives is used as follows:
- Support administrative services for the preparation and submission of grant proposals and post-award management of sponsored projects
- Provide pilot fund awards to Affiliates for the development of research projects and grant submissions
- Computing and technical support for Affiliates
- Support training and mentoring of junior faculty in grant writing and research development
