We are receiving funding being managed and administered by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health - funding provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The FNIH terms and conditions contains the following language:
"Grantee certifies that the Grantee complies with the laws of the country or countries in which it is registered and/or operates; that all information and documentation provided for its Grant application is complete and accurate to the best of its knowledge; that the Grantee takes reasonable steps to ensure that Grant funds are not ultimately distributed to terrorists organizations or for violent purposes; and the Grantee takes reasonable steps to ensure that staff, board, Subgrantees and other volunteers have no dealings whatsoever with known terrorists or terrorist organizations."
Has anyone had experience with this language or with this agency? What are "reasonable steps" how do we know about staff, board, and volunteers dealings? Thanks for your thoughts!
