Rochelle,

Prior to receiving confirmation of the ARI award, NSF had us identify all
subcontractors. The only work that was not a sub was work that our own
employees were performing.

Dear colleagues:

NSF has decided to consider our construction contracts under this program
as subawards, which is quite problematic for many reasons.  Have any of you
experienced this problem with this program?  If so, what did you do?  I’ve
already notified NSF that we do not believe these agreements are subawards
since they do not meet the criteria outlined in A-133, nor do they fit the
definition of subaward in the Research Terms and Conditions or in A-110.
NSF is ignoring that message for the moment.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,
