Re: NIDA Award - Department of State Hold Baumann, John 02 Oct 2002 16:38 EST
This is not new language for NIDA. At a previous institution, I was involved in two such projects. With one, we got State Dept. approval right away; with the other, it was delayed about 6 months for, as far as we could tell, no reasons of substance (we heard a rumor that the State Dept person and the PI did not like one another). I do not necessarially think that it is limited to NIH or HHS. But I don't know how widespread it is. I have been involved with several awards from the Fogarty International Center at NIH and there never were such restrictions to these awards -- presumably State Dept. approval was obtained before the solicitation went out. I would recommend that you contact the international office at NIDA for guidance -- when I had these issues, the Director was Dr. Pat Needle, but I do not know if she is still there. Please do not hesitate to contact me direclty if I can be of more help. John John R.

All funds associated with the international research are restricted pending approval of the U.S. State Department." Is this a new requirement or restriction, is it limited to HHS, we have not seen this language before? Can anyone point out an announcement or regulation pertaining to this issue? Thanks in advance.
