ASEE ERC Conference 2017: Cost Sharing and Seed Funding. R. Moses, Ohio State UniversityCost Sharing – General Observations and Trends• How cost sharing is ‘shared’ across the institution depends heavily on how Indirect Costs are distributed internally • Office of Research, College, Departments• Cost sharing has in general tightened up over the last decade • ‘Formulaic’ cost share is a thing of the past • Many universities don’t provide non-mandatory cost share except in rare cases • A much stronger focus on the needs of the grant, rather than ‘more is better’ • Cash cost share as a last resort• A few trusted colleagues in ADR roles can be very helpful in fact-checking • “U. of XXX does this and my
