I recommend that you go directly to your Grants Specialist for the project
with this question.  Please let us know what he or she says, though.

My institution has a NIH award that involves a subcontract to an Indian
tribe.  Our boilerplate subcontract language has an Equal Opportunity
clause.  The subcontractor/tribe is requesting that this clause be
stricken, as they are a sovereign nation and this doesn't apply to them.

Has anyone else had this issue?  I would appreciate any info or cites
that
I could check out to further research this issue.  Please respond either to
the list serve or me directly.

Thank you.
