To be in compliance with OMB Circular A-110 or 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Guidance), faculty must certify that a search was completed within the University for available assets before purchasing new assets (equipment) for a sponsored project. Faculty may use the Faculty Asset Search Tool to complete and certify these searches.  Access the User Guide:  https://cng.ncsu.edu/cng-docs/systems/FacultyAssetSearchUserGuide.pdf
