interesting questions. have we ever had a similar situation? We
usually do not require certs until award Correct? Do we watch that?

I would like to find out what other institutions are doing at the proposal
stage in requesting documentation from subawards especially for-profit
subs.  For all subs we obtain statement of work, budget, with signatures if
applicable, collaboration letter with institutional endorsement. When other
universities are subs we also request copy of F&A rate agreement, and
normal lobbying, debarment and drug-free certs.  If the prime is NSF, we
ask for a signed NSF cert page.

Is anyone having for-profit or non-profit subs sign a cert that they have a
Conflict of Interest Policy in place when the prime is NSF or NIH? How
about if the prime is another federal agency?

Along the same lines if the RFP does not require certs such as lobbying,
drug free, and debarment do you require the sub to submit them?
