Understanding the Administratively Complex and High-risk Business Objective of Cost Sharing

90 Minutes: Cost sharing represents an administratively complex and high-risk business objective. This webinar will explore the many elements of cost sharing, ranging from the pre-award, often strategic decision to engage in cost sharing from different methods to handle the post award management of cost sharing, offering the participant a lifecycle view of cost sharing. 

The webinar will touch on basic concepts such as what constitutes cost sharing at the proposal stage and federal policies and guidelines related to cost sharing, but will primarily be focused on more complicated concepts, including the impacts of cost sharing on an institution, the functional areas cost sharing touches outside of sponsored research (e.g., finance and budget), and the weighing of strategic interests against traditional compliance when entering into a cost share agreement.

Level: Intermediate

Pre-requisites: The webinar will touch on basic concepts such as what constitutes cost sharing at the proposal stage and federal policies and guidelines related to cost sharing, but will primarily be focused on more complicated concepts, so a general understanding of cost sharing will be helpful.

Handouts will be available 2 hours before the live webinar.

We recommend testing your browser as soon as possible in case you need to contact your IT department for help.
  • It is recommended that you use a PC or MAC with an updated Internet Browser.
  • Make sure you have pop-ups blockers disabled in your Internet browser settings.
  • Make sure that your internet browser is Active X enabled.
  • Wifi is not recommended. The problem with WiFi is signal strength can vary causing bandwidth to increase or decrease.
  • We recommend a wired connection. A wired connection gives a consistent signal and consistent bandwidth. A wired connection provides a better experience.
  • It's better for organizations with low bandwidth to only have the webinar running on 1 computer in a conference room than having 10 individual people running the session on 10 computers at their desks.
  • Audio (sound) is projected through your computer speakers. Be sure your computer is equipped with speakers so you can hear the presenters.
