Sec.  37.305  When may I use a fixed-support TIA?

    You may use a fixed-support TIA if:
    (a) The agreement is to support or stimulate research with outcomes 
that are well defined, observable, and verifiable;
    (b) You can reasonably estimate the resources required to achieve 
those outcomes well enough to ensure the desired level of cost sharing 
(see example in Sec.  37.560(b)); and
    (c) Your TIA does not require a specific amount or percentage of 
recipient cost sharing. In cases where the agreement does require a 
specific amount or percentage of cost sharing, a fixed-support TIA is 
not practicable because the agreement has to specify cost principles or 
standards for costs that may be charged to the project; require the 
recipient to track the costs of the project; and provide access for 
audit to allow verification of the recipient's compliance with the 
mandatory cost sharing. You therefore must use an expenditure-based TIA 
if you:
    (1) Have a non-waivable requirement (e.g., in statute) for a 
specific amount or percentage of recipient cost sharing; or
    (2) Have otherwise elected to include in the TIA a requirement for a 
specific amount or percentage of cost sharing.
