We define cash cost sharing as those line items that we have to generate new
cash to fund, so things like equipment, travel, materials/supplies,
administrative personnel.
Conversely, in-kind cost sharing for us are those line items that we don't
have to generate cash in order to provide, so things like tuition, faculty
contributed effort, and unrecovered f&a.

We like to define cash match as anything that we can display as a budget
and/or expense in our accounting system.
However, there are times when sponsors place restrictions on that. For
example, we had a sponsor who limited cash match to new institutional
commitments rather than allowing existing faculty salaries. And, there are
sponsors who will only allow F&A to be counted as in-kind. In these cases,
we grin and bare it.

Colleagues,
Can you share your institution's definition on in-kind vs. cash match? I
have seen cash match defined as any $$ provided by the institution
(including already-budgeted institutional salary and fringes), and
conversely have also seen in-kind defined the same way. Thanks!
