There is no Indirect Cost limitation on CCLI proposals.     You can collect
IDC or use unrecovered IDC as part of the match.   The guidelines say
exactly what you quote -- 1:1 cash match on equipment, 50% match for all
other project costs but not on a per item basis and not necessarily cash
(in-kind, indirect costs, volunteer time, donated property -- all are
allowable).     Reveiwers don't always understand the budget guidelines,
however, so they will comment on cost-sharing that they don't think is
appropriate (eg, unrecovered IDC); I haven't figured out how to advise
faculty to write budget justifications that will head off these comments.

> Can anyone tell me if I'm reading the NSF CCLI-A&I budget instructions

> can be matched by cash or in-kind, and that match does not have to be on a
