Remote work for employees of SBIR/STTR grantees

[Steve A]

All small businesses that are selected for the award of an SBIR/STTR Funding Agreement must complete the SBIR / STTR Funding agreement certification. There in, one is asked to certify that – “During the performance of the award, the R/R&D will be performed at the Awardee’s facilities by the Awardee’s employees, except as otherwise indicated in the SBIR/STTR application and approved in the Funding Agreement.” Does this mean that all the employees of the awardees should work, in person, at the Awardee’s facilities, which I think implies the office or lab of the awardees, unless there is an exception? In other words, does this mean remote work (e.g. from an employee’s home or Starbucks) is prohibited, unless the same has been indicated in the SBIR/STTR application and approved in the Funding Agreement?
