Research Resources Webinar Series

Research Resources Webinar Series is offered throughout the year and is designed to support and empower Temple University researchers at every stage of their work. These webinars cover a wide range of topics, from data management to latest trends in research tools and technologies.

Upcoming Webinar

Understanding F&A and Additional Federal Funding Updates
Thursday, April 17, 2025 | 3 to 4 p.m. 

Federally funded research includes both direct costs — such as salaries and equipment — and Facilities & Administrative (F&A) costs (indirect costs), which support the infrastructure necessary for research to thrive. F&A covers essential expenses like laboratory construction and upkeep, utilities, safety, security, and compliance with federal regulations — all critical to sustaining a world-class research environment.

All Temple University faculty and staff are invited to join Vice President for Research, Dr. Josh Gladden, and AVP for Research Administration, Dennis Paffrath, for an informative webinar on Temple's F&A rate and how it is applied. Additionally, Dr. Gladden will share insights into the current federal funding landscape, including updates on recent events, Temple's actions, partnerships, and contingency plans. 

The session will conclude with a live Q&A, offering attendees the opportunity to ask questions.
