# §3430.1005. Funding restrictions.

- (a) **Facility costs.** Funds made available under the Sun Grant Program shall not be used for the construction of a new building or facility or the acquisition, expansion, remodeling, or alteration of an existing building or facility (including site grading and improvement, and architect fees).
- (b) **Indirect cost provisions for regional competitive research, extension, and education grant programs.** Funds provided by NIFA to the Centers and Subcenter for the regional competitive grants program under [§ 3430.1004(a)(1)](/cfr/7/3430.1004.md?p=a-1) may not be used for the indirect costs of awarding the competitive grants. However, up to 4 percent of the total funds provided by NIFA to the Centers and the Subcenter under [§ 3430.1004](/cfr/7/3430.1004.md) for the Sun Grant Program may be budgeted for administrative costs incurred in awarding the competitive grants.
- (c) **Indirect cost provisions for research, extension, and education activities conducted at the Centers and Subcenter.** Subject to [§ 3430.54](/cfr/7/3430.54.md), indirect costs are allowable for the funds provided by NIFA to the Centers and the Subcenter for the research, extension, and education programs under [§ 3430.1004(a)(2)](/cfr/7/3430.1004.md?p=a-2).
- (d) **Required allocations.** Each Center and Subcenter must fund subgrants in a proportion that is a minimum 30 percent for conducting multi-institutional and multistate research, extension, and education programs on technology development; and a minimum 30 percent for conducting integrated multi-institutional and multistate research, extension, and education programs on technology implementation. Each Sun Grant Center must clearly demonstrate a common procedure for ensuring the required allocations are met, and for maintaining documentation of these required percentages for audit purposes.
