Victoria ________________________________ From: Research Administration List on behalf of David Hollingsworth Sent: Wed 5/30/2007 10:05 AM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: [RESADM-L] Looking for offbeat examples of costs I am doing a presentation on budgeting and am looking for offbeat examples of costs that have been budgeted on proposals or that the PI has submitted for reimbursement. Below is an example from Maggie Griscavage submitted to the list in May 2006. **************************************** Hi Everyone! It's Spring up here, so forgive me for being a little frivolous. Had a query on a Procard use where a charge hit a party shop. ...Here's a real life answer, suitably scrubbed... "The invoice from the party place should reflect mustaches and spirit gum for their application. I purchased these items because I trap birds for my research and am in great need of disguises...believe it or not the birds I work with know me. I thought that may look suspicious to you..." And, yes, I allowed the charges! This PI gets my top score for honesty..
