The largest percentage of the overhead, 10.5%, is returned to the I&E program and its supporting administrative unit. Similar to the overhead distribution for Industry Affiliate Programs, the net overhead returned to campus from Innovation Services for Extramural Sponsors (adjusted to reflect the fact that the Office of the President retains a percentage of the overhead generated) is distributed in its entirety by a formula based on the following breakdown of the 20% rate:
- 4%: To the Director of the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Program, or academic department for program support, which can be allocated to the Principal Investigator on request
- 10.5%: To Research Administration and Campus Research Support
- 7.5%: To local administering unit
- 2%: To central research administrative units
- 1%: To Berkeley future grants and matching funds
- 4%: To the Central Campus for Facilities and Infrastructure Support
- 1.5%: To the Office of Intellectual Property and Industry Research Alliances for Contract Negotiation & IP Management
