I have a question for those who run shared use resources that have equipment purchased on large instrument grants. Is it legal - and legitimate - to allow the free use of the piece of equipment by those who have contributed to the grant and especially the PI who organized it? and if you do this, how long is the usual free period - or how much use if allowed free? ANY hints will be helpful! Sue DeMaggio UC Irvine 714-824-4110 fax-824-3571
