Cost Recovery

 

The Research & Education Centers are implementing a cost recovery program on January 1st, 2026. Superintendents were tasked with creating this program to recoup direct costs for research on the REC farms. This program does not apply to departmental farms or the Griffin and Tifton campuses. Below is a one-page document that covers the rules and rates for research, but also included is a link to a video that covers the program in more detail. Additionally, you can reach out to any of the superintendents for more information on the model. We look forward to working with you through this transition.
