As PI or Co-PI of the federal research grants/contracts, you may receive a request to sign attestations for federal grants and subawards that the grant activities comply with recent executive orders. If you receive a request to sign any attestation from your funding agency, please forward the notification with any attachment to me immediately at dhawan@njit.edu and copy Eric Hetherington at erich@njit.edu.
Please do not sign any document sent to you regarding any attestation on the federal research grants.
We will carefully review at the institutional level with the provost and general counsel offices to advise and follow up. The Office for Research and the Office of General Counsel will review the request and respond with instructions for you to follow.
Please visit our website periodically for updates on this situation.
