Pricing
Pricing is identical for MSU researchers and for off-campus researchers. However, payments from non-MSU accounts (i.e. off-campus researchers) will be subject to a 2% University Administrative Fee. MSU also requires the addition of a 26% Facilities and Administrative Cost charge to services provided to for-profit companies.
