{"data":{"id":"us/32-cfr-37.305","jurisdiction":"us","citation":"32 CFR 37.305","heading":"When may I use a fixed-support TIA?","body":"You may use a fixed-support TIA if:\n(a) The agreement is to support or stimulate research with outcomes that are well defined, observable, and verifiable;\n(b) You can reasonably estimate the resources required to achieve those outcomes well enough to ensure the desired level of cost sharing (see example in § 37.560(b)); and\n(c) Your TIA does not require a specific amount or percentage of recipient cost sharing. In cases where the agreement does require a specific amount or percentage of cost sharing, a fixed-support TIA is not practicable because the agreement has to specify cost principles or standards for costs that may be charged to the project; require the recipient to track the costs of the project; and provide access for audit to allow verification of the recipient's compliance with the mandatory cost sharing. You therefore must use an expenditure-based TIA if you:\n(1) Have a non-waivable requirement (e.g., in statute) for a specific amount or percentage of recipient cost sharing; or\n(2) Have otherwise elected to include in the TIA a requirement for a specific amount or percentage of cost sharing.","path":["Title 32—National Defense","Subtitle A—Department of Defense","CHAPTER I—OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE","SUBCHAPTER C—DoD GRANT AND AGREEMENT REGULATIONS","PART 37—TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENT AGREEMENTS","Subpart C—Expenditure-Based and Fixed-Support Technology Investment Agreements"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-32.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:25:30Z","sha256":"255b1a10fc4b02d862baf7d7b6c7a7812eeb6d56b97d830abfd0ce6007be7ded","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/32-cfr-37.300","next":"us/32-cfr-37.310"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
