Series: Allowable Costs, Cost Allocation, and Indirect Cost Rates

If you have a federal grant or cooperative agreement, the federal cost reimbursement system applies to your program.

This two-part webinar series will first provide an overview of the entire system, then highlight specific issues related to key cost categories and major cost allocation concepts and strategies. Though conceptually straight forward, these issues can present practical and strategic challenges. 

Join FTLF to examine this key system in grants management, and to identify strategies to prepare yourself and your organization for the successful performance of your awards. 

Key topics will include:

  • The “allowable cost” framework and how it applies to grant-funded expenditures
  • Cost allocation and related rules 
  • “New” requirements and flexibilities set forth in the Uniform Guidance
  • The de minimis rate and when it is available
  • Federally-approved indirect cost rate agreements

  • Discuss major concepts of cost allocation like direct allocation methodologies and indirect cost agreements
  • Identify key “allowable cost” and cost allocation risk areas and describe strategies for addressing them

Certificates of Attendance: We verify attendance upon completion of a webinar (live or recorded version) and will only issue certificates in the name of the account holder enrolled in the course. If you need to document attendance for someone other than the account holder, we provide blank Certificates of Attendance for a supervisor to sign and certify that a different individual viewed the course. 

Group Attendance: Due to the online nature of webinars, we cannot verify participation by more than one person. For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation. We recommend that a supervisor or colleague sign the certificate to certify attendance.
