Taking the Mystery Out of Rights in Technical Data - Session 1 - Intellectual Property Series 2025
Intellectual Property Series - 2025
The "data rights" clauses in the FAR and DFARS are some of the longest and least understood contract provisions. But if one steps back from the length of the data rights clauses and instead views them with some very simple, common-sense concepts in mind, the clauses become surprisingly easy to understand and to apply. Learning Objectives: By the end of this webinar, you should be able to:  understand the basic principles of rights in technical data and the common misunderstandings about who owns the rights in the data;  determine whether the data rights clauses require delivery;  when development occurs- better understand-what is private expense; who gets rights in government-funded modifications, how to alert the government to your rights and to correctly mark your data;  understand how to keep your engineers from inadvertently giving up your data rights.

Indirect Costs - Session 6 - Procurement University 2025
Procurement University - 2025
Indirect Costs refer to the cost associated with running the business and supporting direct projects, but cannot themselves be defined as direct costs (e.g. finance, legal, facilities, IT, fringe benefits). The Federal Government allows for reimbursement of these costs and contractors have flexibility in how their indirect costs are structured and applied to direct contract costs. Throughout the contract life cycle and fiscal year, there are several types of indirect rate calculations used. In this program, you will learn about indirect rate structures, the Forward Pricing Rate Proposal (FPRP), DCAA's FPRP Checklist, billing rates and the final indirect cost rate proposal process. Learning Objectives: By the end of the webinar you should be able to:  Differentiate between direct and indirect costs using real examples;  Define two-tier and three-tier rate structures;  Identify three types of G&A allocation bases;  Understand the Forward Pricing Rate Agreement process; and  Determine when an Incurred Cost Proposal (ICS) is appropriate and how it is utilized.
