Indirect Cost Negotiations

The indirect Cost Negotiations component of the Institution Profile lets you view your organization's Negotiator and Last Negotiation Date. If you hold the SO role within your organization, you can also edit this information.

Viewing Indirect Cost Negotiations

You can view the information in the Indirect Cost Negotiations component of the profile by:

• Clicking the component tile header
• Clicking the View button from the Indirect Cost Negotiations component tile header

The information displays as read-only:

• Negotiator Name
• Last Negotiation Date

Editing Indirect Cost Negotiations

If you hold the SO role within an organization, you can edit the fields in the Indirect Cost Negotiations component of the Institution Profile.

Click the Edit button on the Indirect Cost Negotiations panel header to display all editable fields available in this component. The following fields are available for editing, but are not required:

• Negotiator Name

  Enter the name of the agent who negotiated the most recent indirect cost agreement.

• Last Negotiation

  Enter the date of the most recent indirect cost agreement negotiation (format must be MM/DD/YYYY).

When you are done, click the Save All button at the top or bottom of the profile to save the changes. The Save All button saves the changes made in all components. For information on errors, see How Are Data Errors Indicated?

If you do not wish to save your changes, click the Discard Changes button instead.

Remember: Hiding a component is not the same as saving the component!

IMPORTANT: Only signing official (SO) users can edit the Institution Profile, except for institutions that have a TTO administrator but no signing official, in which case, the TTO administrator can edit. For institutions with both an SO and TTO administrator, the TTO administrator can edit only the Extramural Technology Transfer Administration component.

Only SOs can see the Policy Documents tab, which contains the financial conflict of interest policy.
