Dear colleagues
We are a Subaward in a Carter Center Grant (Mainawardee is in the US). For us the regulation regarding "Rights to Research and Data" seems pretty strict and non acceptable (see Section below). Do you have experience with these grants and if yes, how do you handle this section.
Any hint and help will be appreciated.
Best regards from Zurich, Agatha
