The other way to tackle the foreign sub issue is to try and make is a
fixed price rather than cost reimbursement agreement. Sometimes it
works, sometimes not.
I've found that a lot depends on who the subgrantee is, where they are,
and how savvy and cooperative your PI is. I have too many foreign
collaborators, most in developing countries. I have one PI with several
in Africa and it's always a problem...been that way for years and
probably will be that way for years to come. Then I have another with
several partners in the **-stans and they've run like clockwork. Both
situations are largely attributable to the cooperation, oversight and
management, or lack therof by our PI.

Pay in U.S. dollars. If you are dealing with an NGO or a foreign
university
without much experience, the infrastructure may not be there to handle
the
transaction, i.e., they may agree to the provisions in the sub by
signing
off without being able to really comply. Communicate with someone in
charge--don't get your information or work through foreign faculty. They
are
not subject to our regs so if you need to flow something down make it
explicit.

Subject: [RESADM-L] foreign subs
Does anyone know of any resources that will help us properly develop a
sub-contract with a university in a foreign country? What things must be
added?
Thank you
