As part of the F&A (formerly Indirect Cost) proposal, a review of
Dartmouth's capital equipment threshold is done. A number of years ago the
government allowed institutions to raise the threshold to $5,000.00, but
Dartmouth decided to keep the threshold at $2,500.00. After the recent review,
Nancy Wray discussed the rationale for raising the threshold to $5,000.00
with the Executive Officers of each of the schools. The Executive Officers
agreed with the rationale and gave their approval to raise the threshold for
capital equipment to $5,000.00 effective July 1, 2008.
The impact of this change will mean that the F&A rate (formerly indirect
cost rate) will be charged on equipment under $5,000.00. As proposals are being
prepared for submission to sponsors, the new threshold should be taken into
consideration. For existing projects, or those proposals that have already been
submitted to sponsors, each school will determine how to implement this
change.
