The NIH Grants Policy Statement has a chapter on "Grants to Foreign
Institutional Organizations, and Domestic Grants with Foreign
Components" which spells out allowable costs and applicability of
regulations and compliance issues.  This should answer any questions
about what regulations they are subject to as a subawardee.  So, refer
them to the NIH Grants Policy Statement.

A foreign subcontractor wants to say that it will comply only with
those
"federal laws provided to it by us"!  If a foreign entity applies as a
subcontractor, shouldn't it be responsible for knowing which
regulations
apply to it?

Should we just refer them to the "dot gov" web site and tell them all
the
regs they need are on there?!

Since it's an NIH sub, is the NIH Grants Policy Manual comprehensive
enough?
