I am currently working on the submission of a proposal for the NSF Research
Equipment Grant.  The guidelines do not address indirect costs on equipment
under $5,000 (the new base for federal property).  With the new federal
property guidelines, our institution assesses indirect cost on equipment
under $5,000.

Does anyone know if NSF actually allows indirect cost on equipment, or do
they specifically exclude it somewhere other than this program announcement?
