We are not authorized to purchase office supplies on federally funded research contracts and grants. In other words, you will need our assistance to purchase office supplies. Please discuss any special needs with the CNSI Assistant Director. The following list includes some commonly used items that are considered office/administrative supplies and may not be charged to any federal contract or grant:
Office supplies:

Research supplies that may be purchased in storerooms on grants:
