Re: FDP "Flow Down" Stephen Erickson 09 Sep 2002 09:49 EST

The prime awardee should never pass on FDP conditions to a non-FDP
institution.  The basic rule in all this is that the subawardee should
be given terms nad conditions that fit the type of  subawardee
(university, company, FDP, non-FDP, etc) and the nature of the work
being done by the subawardee (research, services, etc.)  In the case you
desccribe, I would either attach the non-FDP terms and conditions to the
subaward or refer to them in the subaward. You should also make the
appropriate changes to specific provisions (e.g. "references to the
government shall mean prime awardee") -- this would go in the section of
the subaward in which you are referring to the terms and conditions that
are being passed through.
