Indirect costs are agency wide, general management costs (i.e., activities for the direction and control of the agency as a whole). General management costs consist of administrative activities necessary for the general operation of the agency, such as accounting, budgeting, payroll preparation, personnel services, purchasing, and centralized data processing. Conversely, direct costs are costs that provide measurable, direct benefits to particular programs.

Direct and indirect assessments are often called direct and indirect measures. (ABET uses 'measures' and 'methods'.) Direct measures of a learning outcome "reveal what students know and can do [while] indirect measures … suggest why performance was above or below expectations and what might be done to improve the processes of education" (Banta, 2004, p. 5). Using a combination of direct and indirect measures is advisable, because they offer complementary information. See similar questions...

Normally, you would put a variable into the environment by using export var. The command setopt allexport causes all variables which are subsequently set (N.B. not all the ones which already exist) to be put into the environment. Since every variable is in the environment as well as remembered by the shell, the memory for it needs to be allocated twice. This is bigger as well as slower. It really is every variable which is exported, even loop variables in for loops. This is probably a waste. See similar questions...

Indirect costs are those costs incurred for common or joint objectives, which therefore cannot be readily and specifically identified with a particular sponsored project. Indirect costs include items such as water, electricity, heat, local telephone services, office supplies, and administration. Grants, contracts, and other sponsored programs are charged an appropriate share of these costs through application of MUSC's negotiated indirect cost rate. See similar questions...

In the absence of statutory or regulatory language that would prohibit claiming indirect costs (e.g., if the legislation is silent on the subject of indirect costs), then indirect costs can generally be charged. But, if the authorizing legislation says that funds must be spent solely on the item in question, then indirect costs cannot usually be claimed. See similar questions...

LEA may claim up to its approved indirect cost rate unless there is specific authority (legislation or regulation) to limit the rate. For instance, if program statutory or regulatory language limits indirect costs to 3 percent, and an LEA has an approved rate of 5.25 percent, only 3 percent can be charged to the program for indirect costs; if the LEA had an approved rate of 2.75 percent, only 2.75 percent could be charged. See similar questions...

When indirect costs are allowed, LEAs should use their CDE-approved indirect cost rate as the basis for budgeting and claiming indirect cost reimbursements under contracts with the CDE. Contracts that cover more than one year should be structured to allow for adjustments for any rate(s) not yet known. See similar questions...

With indirect cooking, the heat source is placed to the side of the food, not under it. Foods that require lengthy cooking at lower temperatures, like whole turkeys, should be indirectly cooked. See similar questions...

Indirect discrimination occurs when a rule, practice or policy that appears on its face to be neutral in effect has a disproportionate and disadvantageous impact on individuals who share a particular attribute (eg. family responsibility) recognised as a ground under the Equal Opportunity Act.

In addition to actual shipment of a commodity out of the country, the export regulations also control the transfer, release or disclosure to foreign persons in the United States of technical data about controlled commodities. The "deemed export" regulation states that a transfer of "technology" (EAR term) or "technical data" (ITAR term) to the foreign person is "deemed" to be an export to the home country of the foreign person.
