What are some indirect costs that may be related to support services such as Human Resources and Information Technology?

Sometimes hidden costs, such as Human Resources and technical support, are either underestimated or forgotten.

I think it is very important to also make sure that the grant seeker checks with other areas of the organization to make sure there are no additional impacts.

As an example, I am the CIO for a County. Often, grants are for a specific purpose such as using video conferencing equipment for jail visitation. The grant may cover all of the equipment and the installation costs, but the grant seeker really needs to check with the IT department to make sure that the network and network security components are in line with the requirements of the Department of Justice. Often this type of detail is forgotten, and it can be very expensive to be in compliance with federally mandated technology security requirements.

Does anyone have any further examples of how to identify indirect costs?
