Hi all,

Does anyone have any input regarding the question below about FAR
clauses from a for-profit prime flowing down to a non-profit academic
sub awardee?  We understand that the for-profit FAR clauses do not
apply to us as a non-profit but the prime says they do.

Thanks for any input.

Patrick
