Summary

This regulation establishes standard terms and conditions for Department of Defense (DoD) grants and cooperative agreements, focusing on national policy requirements that recipients must follow. It categorizes these requirements into four main articles—nondiscrimination, environmental, live organisms, and other policies—and provides detailed guidelines on compliance, including cross-cutting and program-specific obligations. The regulation ensures that recipients, including institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, and government entities, adhere to federal laws and executive orders, such as those related to civil rights, environmental protection, and research integrity, while allowing for some flexibility in implementation under specific conditions.
