This is terrible. This workshop was amazing last year and I tell everyone about it. I’m donating.

Here is a screenshot of the email from NAGT (who organize the workshop) asking for help… the next workshop is in six weeks!

🧪 PRACTICAL tip for NSF PIs with terminated grants: You're entitled to recover more closeout costs than a DOGE-fueled NSF may lead you to believe. ➡️ Do this NOW: Send fed reg 2 CFR 200.472 on allowable "termination costs" to your sponsored research office: www.ecfr.gov/current/titl... 1/8 🧵
