The following fringe benefit rates will become effective July 1, 2005 for the Doctoral Cluster Institutions (UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee) and UW-Extension, and will be used when charging the employer’s contribution to fringe benefits on all new and on-going extramural projects.

Regular Faculty and Academic Staff  34.00%

Research Associates and Grad Interns 22.50%
Research Assistants, Project Assistants, Teaching Assistants, Pre-Doc Fellows and/or Trainees  26.00%

Limited Term Employes (LTE's) 20.00%

Once again, the changes in rates are primarily due to increasing health insurance costs. The specific components for each rate are detailed in a schedule that has been published at: https://rsp.wisc.edu/chap4/rn/rn05-1t.html.

We appreciate your assistance in assuring that all projects with an anticipated beginning date of July 1, 2005 or later utilize the above rates.
