I've just spent an hour on the USFS web site trying to find out what the
actual policies and regulations are regarding "challenge cost share"
agreements -- the closest I've come is the Forest Service Manual which is
cumbersome and not much help.     There used to be some great web-based
information but the sites have moved or been discontinued.  Are indirect
costs (F&A) allowable,  paid by USFS and/or as cost-share?     I'd be
interested in advice from anyone with experience with these agreements,
particularly if you are NOT a land grant institution.
