National Science Foundation Claim against University of Colorado under Grant GE-1321 (Biological Sciences Curriculum Study Program)

The National Science Foundation (NSF) submitted a claim which it asserted against its grantee, the University of Colorado. The claim by NSF for the recovery of "publisher grant" payments was disallowed in its entirety. The claim for publisher payments concerning a text was allowed in full as between NSF and the university. The NSF claim against the university for alleged unauthorized use of NSF "housekeeping" grants was sustained, subject to possible redetermination of the amount. The claim for $234,769 representing the "profit" from the sale of "single topic films" was disallowed, except for the amount of NSF Royalty entitlement. The claim for interest earned by the grantee was allowed only to the extent of the interest actually realized from amounts payable to NSF.
