# §37.545. May I accept costs of prior research as cost sharing?


No, you may not count any participant's costs of prior research as a cost sharing contribution. Only the additional resources that the recipient will provide to carry out the current project (which may include pre-award costs for the current project, as described in [§ 37.830](/cfr/32/37.830.md)) are to be counted.
