On July 15, 2025 from 3:00-4:30 pm ET, the Joint Associations Group on Indirect Costs (JAG) will convene a virtual townhall meeting to share the Financial Accountability in Research (FAIR) Model.

The townhall will feature a presentation and Q&A discussion of the next iteration of the FAIR Model and plans for advancing it with federal policymakers.  This is an opportunity for participants to ask questions and share feedback on the model which was developed based on the community's input and feedback on the two provisional models released in June. 

Feedback on the FAIR Model will continue to be received after the townhall via this feedback form and other association engagement activities.

Details of the FAIR Model will be shared in advance of the townhall on Monday.

Please note: This is an open session intended for institutional leaders, research administrators, government relations representatives, and those who work directly on F&A issues and federal grants management.  All questions will be handled anonymously, and registrant information will not be shared outside of the participating national organizations. Capacity is limited. This session will be recorded and the recording and slides will be made available here.

Logistics: You will receive a Zoom upon registration, again the day before and one hour before the session.  Please ensure you check your spam/junk mail, as the links come directly from Zoom.  Links are unique and should not be shared. 

For questions about registration or other logistics, contact memberservices@cogr.edu.
