I must say, for Research Administrators this group knows an awful lot about fire arms!

That “personal firearm” had better be a .30-06 rifle with a 180 grain soft-nosed bullet if someone is looking for Kodiaks (or rather thinks Kodiak bears are looking for you).

Yes…they have been in other remote, dangerous locations. On another note, shooting a bear with a handgun, especially a Kodiak bear, might me a life changing/ending event. If that were the only weapon available, that would be one thing however, having the time to think it out and prepare in advance, a short, light, large bore rifle would deter the bear much better.

The holster is a personal expense as it is particular to that (personal) weapon; the travel box and ammunition are allowable as part of the fieldwork.

If a gun were purchased with project funding then all three would be allowable. Fieldworkers in remote areas have been allowed these expenses for decades.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Allowable Cost?

Hello,

I was wondering if I could get your help on a question of allowable costs.

We have a PI that is doing research in Alaska. He wants to purchase ammunition,

a holster and a travel box on grant funds for his personal firearm.

The justification for the expense is protection against bears.

Would you all consider that an allowable grant expense?

Thanks.

Lori Johnson
