Sec. 1260.14  Limitations.



    (a) NASA does not award grants merely to provide donative assistance 

no matter how worthy the purpose, but to the extent that appropriations 

are available to carry out authorized Agency programs. Research in any 

academic discipline related to NASA interests normally will qualify. 

However, advice of legal counsel should be sought in unusual situations, 

or when unusual project activities or organizational attributes are 

evident.

    (b) It is NASA's policy that non-monetary (zero dollar) grants or 

cooperative agreements shall not be used, except for no-cost extensions.

    (c) Loans of Government personal property not associated with a 

contract, grant, or cooperative agreement under 31 U.S.C. 6301 to 6308, 

and made under the Space Act of 1958, should be consummated as loan 

agreements. Also, excess Government research property may be donated to 

educational institutions and nonprofit organizations pursuant to 15 

U.S.C. 3710(I). See Sec. 1260.133(a)(2).

    (d) Neither grants nor cooperative agreements shall be used as legal 

instruments for consulting service arrangements.
