Full Economic Costing (fEC) Introduced by the Government in 2005 Used as basis to cost research projects, but
very few funders will pay 100% of FEC Research Councils pay 80% of FEC Other funders pay according to their own
terms and conditions We use pFACT to calculate the FEC
![Page 33: Research Grants & Contracts Office Research Seminar Department of Media and Cultural Studies Liz Francis & George Eyre.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5515d2c155034638038b45e4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What makes up fEC?
Directly Incurred (DI) costs Directly Allocated (DA) costs Indirect costs Exceptional items: e.g. project studentships
Research Councils will pay 80% of DI, DA and Indirect Costs; 100% of Exceptional Items

College Approval procedures - pFACT
The application should only be submitted once all the stages have been completed.
Each approver should be given at least three clear working days (that’s NINE days prior to deadline).
Paper applications that require institutional signatures should be passed to the RGCO at the same time that the applicant completes their stage of the pFACT sign-off
