Our state laws differ from the grant language. Can we modify the legal agreement?
If state laws prohibit you from signing the ATA grant application as written, please submit, with your signed application, revised legal language that is acceptable to your institution. In this case, if your grant is funded, we will re-sign a grant agreement containing final language acceptable to both your institution and ATA. You may also use the following language: The undersigned agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend ATA from and against all liability, judgments, attorney fees, costs or claims arising from the conduct of the undersigned, or from the conduct of its investigators, researchers, agents or employees, while conducting the research proposed by this application. However, the foregoing provision is effective only as permitted by [state] law, including but not limited to [your state statutes, etc].
