Facilities & Administrative Rate Calculation

In this course, participants explore how F&A cost developments—such as the inclusion of Cost Accounting Standards into OMB Circular A-21—impact the UW. Learn how F&A costs are formulated, and how information supplied by departments (via faculty effort certification forms, the space survey, and equipment inventory data) is factored into the F&A proposal submitted to and negotiated with the federal government.

Fundamentals of Grant and Contract Management
This course is designed for individuals with limited experience in the administration of sponsored projects at the UW. Content covers the basic administrative requirements, pre-award to post-award, for conducting sponsored research/training at the UW including: UW research policies and the procedures established to ensure compliance; costing policy and budgeting; description of award provisions and the range of acceptable terms; and the basics of budget administration. This course also addresses forthcoming developments in electronic grant administration.

Fundraising: Grant Research and Proposal Writing
