NIH is not able to provide additional detail, due to the complexity of federal law and policy, and the unknown facts of a hypothetical event, that would determine coverage for any specific case. An example of a federal statute governing liability coverage is the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), 28 U.S.C. §§1346(b), 2401(b), 2671-80 et seq. You should speak to your institution’s legal counsel if you have additional questions or interest regarding the FTCA. This Department of Justice website may be helpful as an introductory resource: https://www.justice.gov/civil/federal-tort-claims-act-litigation-section.
Insurance: Can NIH provide additional detail specifying which people affiliated with NIH are (or are not) covered under NIH’s federal liability coverage?
