term (Publications).
2. Enhancing Public Access to Publications. "DHS Policy explicitly recognizes and upholds the principles of
copyright. Authors and journals can continue to assert copyright in DHS-funded scientific publications, in
accordance with current practice. The policy encourages authors to exercise their right to give DHS a copy
of their final manuscript or software before publication. While individual copyright arrangements can
take many forms, DHS encourages investigators to sign agreements that specifically allow the manuscript
or software to be deposited with DHS for public posting or use after journal publication. Institutions and
investigators may wish to develop particular contract terms in consultation with their own legal counsel,
as appropriate. But, as an example, the kind of language that an author or institution might add to a
copyright agreement includes the following: "Journal (or Software recipient) acknowledges that the
Author retains the right to provide a final copy of the final manuscript or software application to DHS
upon acceptance for Journal publication or thereafter, for public access purposes through DHS's websites
or for public archiving purposes."
M. SITE VISITS
The DHS, through authorized representatives, has the right, at all reasonable times, to make site visits to
review project accomplishments and management control systems and to provide such technical
assistance as may be required. If any site visit is made by the DHS on the premises of the Recipient, or a
contractor under this Award, the Recipient shall provide and shall require its contractors to provide all
reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenience of the Government representatives in
the performance of their duties. All site visits and evaluations shall be performed in such a manner that
will not unduly delay the work.
N. TERMINATION

least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the effective date of the termination. All notices are to be
transmitted to the DHS Grants Officer via registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. The
Recipient's authority to incur new costs will be terminated upon arrival of the date of receipt of the letter
or the date set forth in the notice. Any costs incurred up to the earlier of the date of the receipt of the
