Indirect Cost: Definition and Example. To facilitate preparation of an indirect cost proposal, shown below are (1) some definitions of the term indirect costs, (2) a brief discussion of indirect cost rate structures and (3) a simple example of an indirect cost rate computation.
Chancre: The classic painless ulcer of syphilis. The chancre forms in the first (primary) stage of syphilis. It is highly contagious and can last 1-5 weeks. The disease can be transmitted from contact with the ulcer, which is teeming with spirochetes. If the ulcer is outside of the vagina or on the scrotum of the male, the use of condoms may not help in preventing transmission of the disease.
Chancres can appear in places other than the genitals. In women, chancres most often appear on the cervix - the bottom of the uterus. Some people get no chancres at all. Many people who have secondary syphilis (40â85% of women and 20â65% of men) say they never had a chancre during the primary stage.
