How do I determine eligibility of the single, “partnering” Research institution on an STTR?
Pull the current form 398 for the research institution and check items 10 and 11 on the face page to see how the institution identifies itself. All U.S. nonprofit research institutions, including nonprofit medical and surgical hospitals, are eligible. Also eligible are “federally funded research and Development centers” found at http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/srs/anno96/start.htm#mas. However, laboratories staffed by federal employees are not eligible. Also, the Grants Management Worksheet for each (IMPACII, GM Reports) has the category “KIND OF ORGANIZATION” which appears in the far left column of the GM report. This section provides a narrative description (rather than numeric value as on the PHS 398) of the kind of organization.
