eLearning Modules             

New! Cost Accounting Standards

Ready for more self-paced eLearning?  We’ve added a new module on Cost Accounting Standards to the Navigate: E-ssentials catalog. This module is recommended as a learning opportunity, or refresher, for those who have financial responsibilities within their units. It provides a foundation for understanding the Facilities and Administrative (F&A) cost rate proposal, federal regulations, and compliance. Other topics include: direct and indirect costs; class codes and indirect cost recovery excluded expenditures (ICRX); the effort reporting process; and the annual space survey.

We encourage you to check out the many other Navigate: E-ssentials modules on a variety of topics related to research administration!
