CIHR UPDATES-Policy Changes
Equipment (or Materials and Supplies?)
“Definition of Equipment”http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/39922.html
Effective August 1, 2009. "Research Equipment: Any item (or interrelated collection of items comprising a system) of nonexpendable tangible property, having a useful life of more than 1 year and a cost of $2,000 or more, which is used wholly or in part for research.“
ALL 3 conditions must be met for an item to be considered equipment:nonexpendable tangible property; and, useful life of more than 1 year; and, a cost of $2,000 or more.
To be considered materials or supplies an item must meet only 1 of the following:expendable tangible property; or, useful life of 1 year or less; or, a cost of less than $2,000.
For example, a laptop computer that costs less than $2,000 would be considered as materials or supplies even though it is a nonexpendable tangible item with a useful life of more than one year.
