Re: IPA question Robyn Remotigue 27 May 2005 08:56 EST

Laurie,
OPM has a website that addresses IPA information in great detail.  You
may want to try this http://www.opm.gov/programs/ipa/ .  It has been
helpful to me in answering questions.  There is also a contact person
listed for additional questions.
Sincerely,
Robyn

The VA has told us that the IPA is the document they use when non-VA
personnel work on VA grants.

Does "on detail to a Federal agency" mean that our person has to be
physically located at the VA?

Is an IPA (from the VA in another state to our institution) the
appropriate award document (rather than a subgrant) in a situation
where
our investigator is listed as a co-investigator on a VA project, and
our
investigator will physically remain at our institution, rather than
being physically placed on assignment at the VA?

Laurie
