Where I am, there are some rules to using grant money from the government, for example I can buy ram and cpu and monitor, but not a 'computer'. I can buy a server, but not use it for anything else. In many projects that involve computation, this is a bit strange. Is there a list of these types of issues field dependent?
Mostly curious about other fields, such as, does chemistry have restrictions for buying chemicals (outside legal issues, as in, if it was industry funded it would be allowed)
