Is the purchase of equipment allowable?
Purchase of a major piece of equipment is allowed in the Enhancing Interdisciplinary Teams program and should be supported by previously approved cost-sharing agreements. Teams planning to request a major piece of equipment in excess of $125,000 (e.g., total budget for one year of this project) should consult with an ARD Associate Dean prior to January 15, 2010. Faculty planning to purchase equipment with funding from any of the other FY2010 IANR Strategic Investment programs should consult with an ARD Associate Dean prior to January 15, 2010.
