Following the University budget model, EHS, with the support of administrative leadership, charges for services rendered to businesses, including UI startups. This is necessary to allow EHS to become more self-sustaining and continue offering the same quality and level of service people expect from the office. EHS adopted the model used by other departments to charge the calculated base rate for services multiplied by the federal F&A Rate, which is currently 55.5%.
