That was nice of you...now...Go Rest!!! -----Original Message----- From: Research Administration List [mailto:xxxxxx@hrinet.org] On Behalf Of Lewis, Robin Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2007 3:50 PM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] SubAwards & Equal Employment Opportunity. . Chris, It is cited by reference in the FDP subawards Attachment 2, 1.12. Here is the link for all the different agency's attachment 2 reference page. http://www.thefdp.org/Subawards_Forms.html#P25_2493. Each applicant agrees to it on the NIH Checklist, also by reference. As far as institutes that do not use FDP templates, it would be on a case by case basis but if it is NIH and the checklist from the subawardee is an attachment to the agreement then it is taken care of. Hope that helps, Robin ________________________________ From: Research Administration List on behalf of Christian Harker Sent: Sat 11/17/2007 5:29 PM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: [RESADM-L] SubAwards & Equal Employment Opportunity. . All- An attorney friend associated with a PUI has stumped me and I'm hoping you experts will help. Here's what he asked me: "Are NIH grantees required to comply with Executive Order 11246, entitled "Equal Employment Opportunity", as amended by executive Order 11375, and as supplemented by U.S. DOL regs (41 D.F.R. Ch 60)? It appears that NIH grantees must include this language in any subaward; is that correct?" I immediately thought "WHAT???" and when I asked for some context, he sent me this: =================== "NON-DISCRIMINATION AND EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY "The Subawardee agrees to comply with the applicable provisions of the U.S. Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act and th rules applicable to each. The Subawardee shall comply with Executive Order 11246, entitled "Equal Employment Opportunity", as amended by Executive Order 11375, and as supplemented by the U.S. Department of Labor regulations (41 C.F.R. Chapter 60). The Subawardee agrees to incorporate this clause into all Subcontracts under this Contract. "The underlined portion requires the subawardee to create an affirmative action plan and otherwise comply with some pretty daunting administrative procedures. Most entities considering whether to go down this road figure it is at least one FTE to have someone in charge of and running the compliance program. Most small, private colleges and universities would probably not be subject to this regulatory scheme but for the presence of this language in a federal contract they sign. "My question is, why does this appear in a subaward if it is not in the original grant. I am told that it is required by NIH, but I can not find the hook. I did find it on the NEH website, and apparently it is required only on subawards." ======================== Have any of you encountered this?
