The mission of the KU Center for Research is to develop and enhance
the resources that promote the growth and excellence of research
and creative activity at the University of Kansas. To ensure that
maximum benefit is derived from the resources available, it is
the policy of KUCR that all funds be used to further the research
and training mission of the University. Therefore, only those costs
that are defined as allowable under OMB A-21 as either direct or
indirect costs will be allowable by KUCR.
The following is a list of some of the standard unallowable costs:
- Alcohol
- Gifts, including flowers
- Alumni activities
- Bad debts/uncollectible accounts
- Donations and contributions
- Entertainment costs
- Fines and penalties
- Goods or services for personal use
- Lobbying
- Memberships in civic or community organizations or country
or social clubs
Failure to list a particular item of cost does not determine its
allowability for an individual sponsored agreement or cost center.
Determination as to allowability will be evaluated on a case by
case basis providing consistent treatment of similar costs.
