When a PI would like to begin construction of a piece fabricated equipment (FE) or a fabricated system, they should submit a definition of the equipment or system being proposed in consultation with the Budget Manager (phybudget@syr.edu). Once approved, the Budget Manager will work with the Sponsored Accounting or other offices to set up the proper account codes to be used when purchasing the components of the equipment or system. The Fabricated Equipment definition should include:
- Complete title of FE, description, and justification
- Funding source (project) to be used to make purchases
- Estimated total cost for FE item
- Estimated date of completion
