Definitions

• “Foreign source”means any one of (A) a foreign government, including an agency of a foreign government; (B) a legal entity, governmental or otherwise, created solely under the laws of a foreign state or states; (C) an individual who is not a citizen or a national of the United States or a trust territory or protectorate thereof; and (D) an agent, including a subsidiary or affiliate of a foreign legal entity, acting on behalf of a foreign source (which UNLV interprets as including any situation in which a person or entity is making a gift to the University or entering into a contract with UNLV under the direction and control of a foreign source).
• “Contract”means any agreement for the acquisition by purchase, lease, or barter of property or services by the foreign source, for the direct benefit or use of either of the parties. UNLV interprets the definition of “contract” as covering only those contracts that involve payments to the University in exchange for goods and services (that is, money-in contracts). Tuition payments to the University from foreign sources are covered. UNLV collects information regarding all contracts regardless of whether they have a monetary value (for example, memoranda of understanding, non-disclosure agreements, data sharing agreements, incoming material transfer agreements, faculty, or student exchange agreements, etc.).
• “Gift” means any gift of money or property. UNLV has interpreted “gifts” to exclude pledges or gift agreements. Only the actual receipt of money or property should be reported.
