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.)
