Best-Efforts-Basis, Research-and-Development-Cost-Sharing Arrangements.
25-1 Best-efforts-basis, research-and-development-cost-sharing arrangements within the scope of this Subtopic (see paragraph 912-730-15-2) shall be recognized as research and development expense as incurred in conformity with Topic 730. Because of the cost-sharing nature of these fixed-price, best-efforts-basis, research-and-development-cost-sharing arrangements, the amounts funded by the customer shall be recognized as an offset to the contractor\'s aggregate research and development expense rather than as contract revenues.
