Description: Due to concerns regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus) and universities suspending non-essential travel, Maximus will be holding CRIS University: Introduction to CRIS Workshop virtually through Zoom. This live instructor led virtual introductory workshop provides university professionals who prepare F&A rate proposals with an overview of the Maximus Comprehensive Rate Information System - CRIS. In this workshop, participants will:
- Gain a basic familiarity with the CRIS application, under the direction of Maximus staff.
- Complete a CRIS model, using data for a simulated university.
- Calculate an F&A rate for the modeled university and generated reports for a rate proposal.
- Learn how to use the CRIS analytical tools to optimize rates and for data driven decision making
- Step through the CRIS process of calculating the Utility Cost Adjustment, which may increase your Organized Research F&A rate by up to 1.3 points.
CRIS is compliant with Uniform Guidance 2 CFR PART 200 and is the most proven and widely trusted F&A software in the industry. Over 250 institutions use CRIS to calculate and negotiate F&A rates. CRIS has demonstrated and proven the optimization of F&A reimbursement through thousands of negotiations with HHS-CAS and ONR.
Participants will earn 17 CPE credits for successful completion of this course.
