Julie,
Our institution received the same contract from FAMRI and they were
unwilling to negotiate or make changes to their language that we would
deem acceptable.
Sincerely,
Robyn

FAMRI (Flight Attendant Medical Research Institute) has revised their
clause "Funds from Tobacco-Related Entities" to read:
"The Principal Investigator and the Grantee Institution agree that it,

he or she, and any person who works on Principal Investigator's
research or administrative staff, and any affiliated contractors,
associates or agents, shall not accept any grant or other gifts of
value from any tobacco manufacturer, distributor, or other
tobacco-related entity.  The Grantee Institution confirms that it does

not permit smoking within its Institution and it endorses smoke-free
environments."

The FAMRI cover letter also states:  "FAMRI requires that all grantees

sign identical contracts without any modifying language."

If your institution has received a FAMRI agreement this year, please
contact me.  I would like to know what, if any, changes you were able
to negotiate.  So far, the only modification that they've agreed to is

to limit the restriction to the period of the grant.

Thanks.
