The Allowable Cost System

August 27, 2026

This webinar is included in the Federal Grants Training Membership.

Fundamentally, a grant from the federal government is simply an agreement by the government to reimburse the grant recipient for certain costs of certain activities. The limits of the government’s agreement are expressed primarily through the federal cost principles and are defined as “allowable costs.” Join Feldesman attorney Ted Waters to evaluate and discuss the scope and limitations on reimbursable costs, and key risk areas inherent in this system.

The on-demand version of this webinar will be available for purchase one week after the conclusion of the live webinar.
