CIL-NET Presents… A National Teleconference & Webinar:
October 7, 2015; 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. Eastern
Register online or by using the printable registration form (PDF).
This July, the US Department of Health & Human Services sent notification to all Centers for Independent Living receiving federal funds that they would need to submit an indirect cost rate proposal instead of the cost allocation plans required by the US Department of Education. CIL-NET is coordinating this teleconference and webinar as the first-step in helping CILs prepare for the new requirements. Join us in October to learn the basics of indirect cost rates, determine if your CIL will need an indirect cost rate, and what you can do now to prepare and simplify the process.
This training is an overview of indirect cost rates and the new requirement for CILs. Future trainings will address the details of actually developing your CIL’s indirect cost rate proposal.
As we are developing future training with more detail on Indirect Cost Rates, we are wondering if there are any CILs out there who have already begun the process with HSS for establishing an Indirect Cost Rate. If you have, please share your experience with Paula McElwee at [email protected] or call 559-250-3082. Your experiences will help inform what we share with the field.
Registration Fee: $75.00. Fee is per site (connection) and does not apply per participant; registrants are encouraged to gather as many individuals as desired to participate by telephone or webcast.
Target Audience
CIL and SILC executive directors, financial and program managers, and other staff involved in accounting and management of CILs receiving federal awards.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe considerations in determining whether CILs need or would benefit from an indirect cost rate
- Describe the process for determining whether CILs qualify for the new 10% de minimis indirect cost rate
- Identify significant steps CILs can take to simplify their application for an indirect cost rate and ongoing communications to simplify the accounting process
- Explain procedures that will be required to qualify for reimbursement of indirect costs
