Approved as
amended by NSF's 9/23/93 memorandum tom OMB. In addition, NSF has
indicated that it will assess the utility of adding a data element
regarding university indirect cost allocation under OMB Circul A-21
for the next administration of this or a related survey. As this
issue relates to university use of research facilities, this survey
appears to be an appropriate vehicle for that data element.
