The University, as a recipient of federal funds, is subject to anti-lobbying rules
that restrict contact by mail, telephone, or in person with employees of federal agencies
or congressional offices, and with members of congress. The restrictions prohibit
contacts between University and federal employees after proposals requesting federal
funds have been submitted by the University, until action has been completed by the
federal agency. University personnel may, however, respond to questions from federal
employees, and may explain the content of a proposal. Contact the Office of Research
and Technology Transfer or the Executive Director of Governmental Relations for further
information about contacts with federal representatives.
