-----------------------------------------

Yes, this is true. Even if you don't have the relationship, it 
can't hurt to ask. Many will tell you to submit a formal request, 
but some may give you the info outright. It depends on the 
specific agency and the individual contracting officer. They are 
all different. But it's certainly worth a shot.

I would also say that it is easier to get grant-related info than 
it is to get contract-related info. This is probably because 
grants are given for a public purpose, whereas contracts are 
generally commercial in nature.



Kind Regards,
Deborah
