In other cases, a sponsor may deem it desirable to cost share and will include it as a recommendation. Tulane has developed guidelines for how University funds are committed as cost share which can be reviewed on the Office of Research web page. Cost sharing may take the form of contributed time and effort for project personnel. Requests for major items of equipment may be viewed more favorably by a sponsoring agency if the institution is willing to share in the cost of equipment purchase, even if such cost sharing is not required. It is important to remember that all cost sharing, whether voluntary or mandatory, must be documented.
Limited funds are available for such purposes and are committed according to the guidelines.
Such requests will be reviewed by the Office of Research, in conjunction with the dean's office, to determine if the commitment will enhance the research infrastructure and is consistent with the guidelines.
