[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 32, Volume 1] [Revised as of January 1, 2008] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 32CFR37.565] [Page 213-214] TITLE 32--NATIONAL DEFENSE CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE PART 37_TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENT AGREEMENTS--Table of Contents Subpart E_Pre-Award Business Evaluation Sec. 37.565 May I use a hybrid instrument that provides fixed support for only a portion of a project? Yes, for a research project that is to be carried out by a number of participants, you may award a TIA that provides for some participants to perform under fixed-support arrangements and others to perform under expenditure-based arrangements. This approach may be useful, for example, if a commercial firm that is a participant will not accept an agreement with all of the post-award requirements of an expenditure- based award. Before using a fixed-support arrangement for that firm's portion of the project, you must judge that it meets the criteria in Sec. 37.305. [[Page 214]] Accounting, Payments, and Recovery of Funds
