Can someone who is not an employee of an awardee organization have time/effort that is counted as part of the organization's in-kind contribution?  For example, the organization I'm at, MHUMC, is awarded a grant that requires an in-kind contribution by the organization.  A person from outside MHUMC works on a portion of the project with the project director and others and is not paid by MHUMC for the work.  Can this person's time/effort count as part of our required in-kind contribution?  I was under the impression that if MHUMC is required to commit the cost-sharing/matching that it must come from MHUMC employees' time/effort only.  However, after browsing through others' policies regarding cost-sharing/matching, I'm not sure that I am correct.  My organization is not under A-21.  We fall under A-122 and 45 CFR 74, App E.

Thanks!
