As a reminder for the use and management of equipment purchased on sponsored projects:

  • Equipment should be used for its originally authorized purpose unless otherwise provided by the sponsor terms and conditions for as long as necessary
  • Equipment is normally under the direction of the Principal Investigator (PI) until completion of the award
  • Equipment should be properly identified and documented per sponsor and institutional requirements and guidelines
  • The use and management of federally-owned property is subject to the requirements of the Uniform Guidance
  • A physical inventory must be taken and the results reconciled with the property records at least once every two years

If equipment has not been tagged within 60 days of delivery, please create a ticket in ServiceNow under Financial Services and “New Capital Equipment Tag”

Please note: before transferring, selling, re-assigning, or disposing of equipment within or outside the institution, the PI submits a written request describing the intended action, along with an Equipment Release Authorization form, to Research Affairs Post Award.
