Equipment acquired with contract or grant funds for which title vests with the sponsoring agency, e.g., the Federal government, shall also be identified with decals, plates, or tags furnished by the sponsoring agency's administrator. Unless already marked, all sponsoring agency-owned equipment shall be marked with the designation of the sponsoring agency responsible for its control and funding. If the University acquires title to the property, the sponsoring agency's identification is removed. The University asset number decal is NOT to be removed. B. Government noninventorial equipment Identification, marking, and recording of noninventorial government property is the responsibility of the department and the principal investigator.
CAMS assigns an asset identification number for each piece of inventorial equipment.
The Equipment Management Department prints and sends the department an asset number decal. Decals bearing the same asset identification number shall be affixed to detachable components purchased with the equipment that are interdependent or essential to the operation of the equipment, e.g., a microcomputer's power supply, monitor, external disk drive, and printer. If additional identification is considered necessary, it shall be applied in a manner that will avoid confusion with the asset number. B. Engraving of identification numbers 1. Departments are encouraged to engrave asset numbers on University equipment, in addition to affixing the identification decals.
