18.3.1 Cost Principles
There are no cost principles specifically applicable to grants to for-profit organizations. Therefore, the cost principles for commercial organizations set forth in the FAR (48 CFR Part 31.2) generally are used to determine allowable costs under NIH grants to for-profit organizations. As provided in those costs principles, allowable travel costs may not exceed those established by the FTR. The cost principles in 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix IX, Hospital Cost Principles, are used to determine allowable costs under NIH grants to proprietary hospitals.
