These are the terms and conditions for institutions participating in the
Federal Desmonstration Project.  At this time nine federal agencies
participate in this program with +/- 200 schools involved.  As a
participant in FDP, NSF has apparently volunteered/agreed to put the FDP
documents on-line.  What is published on STIS is the 9/93 update of the
general T&Cs and "agency specific" requirements to the general T&Cs.  The
nine feds involved are AFOSR, ARO, ONR, EPA, NASA, NIH, NSF, USDA, DOE.

If you'd like more information you could contact Julie Norris, Asst Vice
President and Director of Sponsored Programs at the Univ of Houston; (713)
743-9221; email: xxxxxx@uh.edu        Julie has forgotten more about FDP
then the rest of us will ever know!
