Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal award activity of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (the “Laboratory”) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2024 and is prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).

Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The Laboratory has not elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance as indirect cost allowances recovered under government grants are based on an approved indirect cost rate negotiated with the cognizant government granting agency.
