Housing and Conference Rates
Effective May 1st, 2025
Bodega Marine Laboratory (BML) offers housing, conference, and facility rental options for both UC-affiliated and non-UC groups. Rates are structured according to University-approved recharge policies.
University vs. Non-University Rates
Per UC policy, all BML recharge rates are subject to a 36% Non-University Differential (NUD) assessment for non-University clients.
The NUD is a component of the University’s federally negotiated indirect cost rate and is applied to recover indirect costs incurred by BML when providing services to non-University users. It accounts for costs such as facilities maintenance, administration, and other operational expenses. Components not typically used by external clients—such as Library services and Sponsored Project Administration—are deducted from this rate.
Note: Non-UC researchers who hold a Research Associate (WOS) courtesy appointment at BML are not exempt from the NUD assessment.
