Sue,

While I confess to not being an expert on the subject, we did get some
education from our administration here. You can charge for "depreciation";
however, here (and I expect at most other US universities) the depreciation
is covered in the overhead rate (i.e. under the indirect costs). You cannot
double-bill for it, so that means that you can't figure it in your rate to
your users.

Now what happens to the overhead, that's a different story... (My lab surely
doesn't see it.)

Regards,
Neal
