In-Kind Cost Sharing
In-kind contributions (e.g., equipment, supplies, personnel) from third parties may also be committed as cost sharing or matching if the value of such contributions can be properly documented. The preferred method of documentation requires the contributor to submit signed and pre-numbered invoices indicating the amount due is zero to the PI who approves and forwards each invoice to SPA. The AS 560: Certification of In-Kind Cost Sharing may also be used.
