Participant Support Costs: An Overview of Dos and Don’ts



Please join Research Administrators INC for a 90-minute session focusing on Participant Support Costs.  These costs require special treatment and clear communication throughout the award life cycle.

This NCURA webinar will help you understand what participant support costs are and why they are special.  It will: (i) address the rules and regulations governing participant support costs; (ii) talk about how to budget, set up, and manage participant support costs; and (iii) touch on audit considerations. So, if there have been instances where you have struggled to confidently validate the allowability of participant support cost or if you could simply use a refresher on the fundamentals, then this Participant Support Costs webinar is for you.

This webinar will provide you with the knowledge and fundamental framework needed to manage participant support costs going forward.
WHEN:   Tuesday, December 6th from Noon – 1:30PM (90 minutes)
