We invite the research community to join us on Monday, March 23 from 2 – 3 p.m. for a webinar outlining proposed updates to the Research Investment Funds (RIF) model, also known as indirect cost return.

During the session, we will share the key elements of the proposed model, the context informing these changes, and the anticipated next steps. While the webinar will focus on providing information, we welcome your questions and feedback after the presentation. Members of the leadership team will host follow-up meetings with each college to provide additional context and create space for discussion.

Please register to attend the webinar. After registration, you will receive a confirmation with the Zoom webinar link.

This presentation is hosted by the Office of Research and Innovation, Office of the Provost and Office of Finance and Operations.

Please email VCRI@uml.edu for any questions. We look forward to seeing many of you soon.
