Dear Colleagues:

Although we have had grants from NGS previously, we just got what I
believe is our 1st award from the NGS Committee for Research &
Exploration.  My primary concern is that while the award will be made to
our institution, NGS-CRE requires the PI and project participants to
sign away many of their rights to get the award, particularly in the
area of non-scientiifc publishing and the area of liability release.

I am looking for anyone's experience with these awards and how you
handled these concerns.

Thanks for your input.

Steve Etheredge
