In today’s dynamic political landscape, where federal funding, institutional accountability, and research integrity face increasing scrutiny, understanding the full spectrum of the policies and costs associated with conduct of research is more vital than ever. This session will cover the purpose of "F&A" costs and how they are determined, their role in sustaining cutting-edge research, and how MSU manages and distributes these costs. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay informed and engaged in an era of heightened oversight and fiscal responsibility.
