The University has calculated the new proposed pooled fringe rates for fiscal year 2016-17 and has submitted them to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Although we do not expect any objections, the proposed rates are subject to DHHS approval and should be used with that understanding in your planning for fiscal year 2016-17.
