| Indirect costs—the often overlooked costs of research
The cost of conducting research at a university is significant. Total costs of a sponsored project comprise indirect and direct costs. Sponsored projects are externally funded, scholarly activities whose purpose is to provide benefit to the sponsor or to the public. Many sponsored projects, particularly in STEM fields, require specialized equipment that can run into the millions of dollars. |
