These events are intended for the directors, staff, and other core facility stakeholders at UNC Chapel Hill.

Presenters: Jackie Schwamberger, Business Officer and Ben Wright, Director of Research Core Development in OSP

Core facilities who provide goods and services to external (non UNC Chapel Hill and NC State) customers must charge a minimum external rate of the break-even rate + 55.5% F&A costs. Any profit earned above the break even rate (sometimes called the External Sales Reserve or External F&A) has a different and less restricted set of allowable expenses it may be spent on. Cores can use this money to invest in new equipment or purchase office supplies, for instance.

Come learn more about what External Sales Reserve/F&A is, why it is charged, and how your core can use it's reserves strategically!

This event will be held in a hybrid manner. While we strongly encourage in-person attendance for those who are able to make it, we will have a zoom link available for those unable to join us on campus,
