I’d like to give a Round of Applause to Valerie Crickard who was quite helpful in helping our team review the budget for a service contract agreement. She astutely identified that the vendor was using the wrong indirect cost recovery rate. (She even found the correct rate on the vendor’s own website!) That helped us go back and negotiate a better rate and saved us ~$40K on our program budget. I appreciate her diligence and care and going the extra step to help our team. It was greatly appreciated!
