Follow the standard approval procedures as described in the GAP, Rebudgeting Funds on Grants and Contracts to:

• add equipment which was not included in the approved budget, or
• change the budget line item for equipment because its cost differs from the original estimate.

If the PI proposes to purchase equipment which differs from that described in the approved budget, but which does not require a modification of the budget, the Request for Rebudgeting of Grant Funds must still be completed. Zero (0) should be inserted in the column requesting the amount of change in the line item and the approved form should be attached to the purchase order for the equipment. This procedure enables the University to correctly identify equipment when preparing property reports for the sponsor.
