Yes, it is allowable as a direct cost, with certain restrictions.  Go to
OMB Circular A-21, and read Section J.25(g).  Also see what your
university policies may be.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Professional Liability charged to Grant Proposals

I am going to try this again, I didn't receive any responses to the
following question.

Does anyone have knowledge of clinical faculty charging Professional
Liability assessment (malpractice cost) to grant proposals that have
human subjects included in their project?

Would this be an allowable charge to a grant account?
