  Mastering Indirect Cost Recovery: Is this a direct or indirect cost?

  Fully recovering all direct and indirect costs is vital to an organization’s sustainability. Full cost recovery is often complicated when receiving funds from different donors that have different rules.
  
  
  
  The good news is that for many costs, there is no right or wrong answer. To be successful, the organization needs to determine their strategy and apply it consistently. This 1-day course will provide organizations the necessary knowledge, tools and practical steps to:
  
  Define their organization’s indirect and direct costs
  The different US Government Methods for charging indirect costs
  US Government Compliance Regulations for Indirect Costs
  Maximize indirect cost recovery from multiple different donor indirect rates
  Communicate and advocate an organization’s indirect rate to donors
  The US Government process to pursue a NICRA (Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement)
