At Purdue, the cores depreciate equipment, and add it into the rate
calculation. In cases where the cost of depreciation would make the rate
unacceptably high, we can request a waiver of depreciation for internal users.
The university has an internal funding mechanism through the Vice
President for Research. Funding is allocated in two buckets - one for equipment
under $100K, and one for equipment between $100K to $1M. The larger equipment
proposals require a 1/3 cost share from outside the VPRs office, which can come
from a mix of the colleges, departments, or individual faculty. The Associate
Deans for Research form the review committee to decide who gets funded.

Subject: [core administrators network forum] Depreciation and Instrument
funding
Hello all,
Hoping to get some help from the collective wisdom here. Two separate
questions are on the table.
1. Depreciation - I know instruments purchased with NIH funds cannot be
depreciated, but how many of you depreciate instruments purchased with internal
funds? If you do depreciate, do you add that into the rate calculation?
2. Instrument purchases - While instrumentation grants are nice, there is a
limit to the utility of them for replacement of older instruments as well as
acquiring cutting edge technology. I have proposed an institutional funding
mechanism to provide for this process. I've been asked to see if other
institutions have such an internal funding mechanism. If so, what is the
approximate value of that fund on an annual basis and how does the fund work.
Thanks so much,
Tim
