INDIRECT C O S T S ON RESEARCH CONTRACTS (28) On January 24, 1942 (Minutes, pages 759-76i). the Board approved a revised set of rules concerning patents resulting from research contracts. The rules also included certain provisions for financial arrangements in these contracts. These arrangements governing indirect costs (overhead), cost of retirement benefits, and workmen's compensation, were based on a classification of contracts made primarily in relation to patents. Experience has indicated that a different classification of contracts is needed for purposes of financial arrangements, .It also indicates that more adequate provision for the recovery of indirect costs is needed in many of these contracts, while at the same time giving full recognition to the research and scientific values involved therein. T h e Comptroller has given extended study to this problem for over a year and has secured the advice of the Dean of the Graduate School, the Directors of the Agricultural and Engineering Experiment Stations, the Executive Dean
