Slide Presentation (May 8 & May 12, 2025)
On May 8 and 12, on behalf of the Joint Associations Group (JAG) on Indirect Costs, COGR hosted two town hall webinars. The webinars included: an overview on facilities & administrative (or indirect) costs; information about the scope, structure and work of JAG and its subject matter expert group; and had substantial time for audience input and Q&A. Leaders from the JAG organizations and Dr. Kelvin Droegemeier, Professor and Special Advisor to the Chancellor for Science and Policy, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign; and former WH OSTP Director led the webinars.
