This is a very short opinion, which makes it easy to read, and one of the most important sentences is on page 20: Specifically, the record makes clear that subcontracts are commonly not executed until sometime after the grant is awarded, yet the grantcovered work proceeds without waiting for the inking of a subcontract. #researchadministration #researchfunding #federalfunding #universities #intellectualproperty #subcontracts https://lnkd.in/eYYZj6fZ
