◦milestone payments due to third parties under acquisition and in-licensing arrangements based on our product candidates' achievement of R&D and regulatory milestones specified therein, and

•indirect costs, including:

◦personnel-related costs, including salaries, bonuses, benefits, payroll taxes, and stock-based compensation expenses for employees engaged in R&D functions,

◦the costs of services performed by third parties, including consulting services,

◦facilities-related costs, including rent and maintenance costs, and insurance, depreciation, supplies, and miscellaneous expenses, and

◦costs related to travel, conference participation, service contracts, information technology, dues and subscriptions.

We recognize R&D expenses as they are incurred. External expenses are recognized based on our evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information provided to us by our service providers or our estimate of the amount of services that has been performed at each reporting date. Nonrefundable payments we make prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in R&D are recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or services are performed. Milestone payments to third parties under acquisition, license, and option agreements are recognized as they are incurred or when we deem their incurrence to be probable.

At any one time, we are working on multiple programs at various stages of development. We anticipate that we will make determinations as to which product candidates to pursue and how much funding to direct to each development program on an ongoing basis based on our cash resources and in response to the results of ongoing and future clinical trials and preclinical studies, regulatory developments, and our ongoing assessments as to the commercial potential of each product candidate. Until we secure additional capital to fund our operating needs, we expect our research and development spend will be primarily on advancement of Ovaprene. In addition, we expect to incur significant research and development expenses for the DARE-LARC1 and DARE-HPV programs, but we also expect such expenses will be supported by non-dilutive funding, with respect to DARE-LARC1, through at least 2026, and with respect to DARE-HPV, through October 2026. See Note 10 "Grant Awards" to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. 

We generally track direct R&D costs on a specific basis and present direct costs for our key development programs on a program-by-program basis. We present direct costs for all other programs on
