Re: overhead return distribution Gina Lee-Glauser 15 Feb 2001 15:05 EST

Yes, please send all the info related to this subject.

I also have the following follow up questions to institutions that already have F&A return policy.  They are:

want me to continue to forward the answers on this subject?
