Pre-Award - Tips

• When preparing your proposal, make sure that you have all the equipment needed to conduct your research.

• If you need additional equipment, include in your proposal the cost of purchasing the new equipment.

• Be sure to include your equipment maintenance costs in your proposal also but do not itemize these costs as OCO. These costs are considered an expense.

Don’t forget to check with the Surplus Warehouse to see if any of the available surplus equipment will meet your needs.

Post Award - Tips• Make sure the proper amount of budget has been allotted to purchase

the equipment.• When purchasing equipment, obtain an ECCN Code from the vendor.

Include this information in the description or comment field on the requisition.

• Use the equipment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement. (Do NOT purchase the equipment when the research is already 99% complete)

• If the equipment has been assigned an ECCN code that restricts access to foreign nationals, put procedures in place to ensure this is occurring.

• Safeguard the equipment from loss or damage. • Conduct regular preventive maintenance to the equipment to sustain

the life of the equipment.

Post Award• If you are using an existing asset that has an expired

warranty, consider purchasing a prepaid maintenance plan through Thermo Asset Management (Contact Tami Webb at 372-3265 for more information)

• If an asset is going to be temporarily assigned to an employee to take off campus, an electronic “Non-UF Facility Certification” form must be completed by both the employee and the Accountable Officer before it is allowed to leave campus. The form can be accessed directly from the Asset Management web site.

REMEMBER, regardless of whether the equipment has been paid from a grant, it is considered UF Property. It can’t be donated or transferred to other agencies without PRIOR approval from DSR and Asset Management.

Post Award

• If a faculty member is transferring to another University and taking their research projects with them including the equipment purchased using the project funds, a Report of Survey must be completed by your Departemental Property Contact in myAssets. This form must be signed by DSR and your Dept Chair/Director.

Agency Acquired or Donated Assets

• Equipment donated from other institutions or loaned to UF must be assigned an asset tag number.

• When this occurs, a “Property Update”must be submitted by your department’s Property Contact through myAssets.

Post Award

• When the grant is over, your Property Custodian will be notified to transfer the asset to another sponsored project or an overhead project.

NOTE: Do not transfer the asset to another sponsored project unless it will solely benefit that project.

Utilization, Securing and Safeguarding UF Assets is Everyone’s Responsibility

• Whenever you see computers or electronics thrown in dumpsters, please let us know…

• Whenever you see equipment stored in hallways, let us know….

• Whenever you identify equipment that is underutilized, transfer it to a department who can put the equipment to better use.
