CONTENT: Cost sharing is an issue that affects all institutions, and its implications are often the cause of confusion. The program will include a review of the types of costs that qualify for cost sharing, the accepted categories of cost sharing, and the requirements for documenting and reporting it. The panel will discuss the various pressure points with cost sharing, from proposal to award to project closeout. In addition, the relationships among cost sharing, effort reporting, and indirect cost rates create the need for sophisticated systems to manage the complexities, and the panel will discuss the key points of intersection. Finally, the panel will seek to clarify important risk areas arising from a heightened emphasis on cost sharing in recent audits.
Learning Objectives:
