On the Grants and Contracts Accounting website, you will find a Cost Allowability Guide (Cost Allowability Guide | Grants and Contracts Accounting) created by Andrew Chung. This guide provides examples of expense types and when they are allowable versus unallowable. A screenshot of the guide is provided below, for easy reference. As a reminder, a cost is allowable if it is permitted as a cost within general federal and state regulations, the terms of a specific award, and/or the institution's F&A rates.

If you have any questions, please contact Andrew Chung at Andrew.chung@business.gatech.edu
