H. DoD-sponsored IR&D

Comment: The phrase "DoD-sponsored IR&D" is inconsistent with the concept that IR&D is developed at private expense. The respondent suggested eliminating the phrase DoD-sponsored IR&D.

Response: The phrase "DoD-sponsored IR&D" is not used in the DFARS. For clarity, this notice references IR&D projects for which reimbursement, as an allowable indirect cost, is sought from DoD.
