Including a subaward in your proposal

1. If the relationship with your collaborator is unclear, please contact OSP and complete the Subrecipient or Contractor Checklist
2. If determined to be a subrecipient, please request the OSP/contracts administrator contact information from your collaborator and provide to your Sponsored Research Officer.
3. The collaborator will be required to provide a completed and signed Subrecipient Commitment Form due to OSP at least 5 business days in advance of the sponsor deadline, or with your proposal package to your college/division - whichever deadline is sooner. 
   1. This form must include a brief statement of work

Budgeting for the subaward

1. When your collaborator's scope of work is determined, request a line item budget and budget justification from them. This must be received as soon as possible as it will become part of the 911爆料 budget.
   1. Be sure to communicate any budget limitations and/or restrictions
2. Enter their total cost (direct and indirect costs) into your budget spreadsheet.
   1. If the the sponsor is a federal agency, the subrecipient has the right to include their federally negotiated indirect costs.

The OSP is a resource throughout this process - please contact us early and often!

Once an award is received, the subaward must be issued to your collaborator. The subaward must be included in the proposal and budget, and approved by the sponsor. If you are seeking to add a subaward after the prime award (agreement from the sponsor) has been issued, it must be pre-approved by the sponsor.

Following your New Award Orientation:

1. the Associate Controller will conduct a risk assessment to determine the level of monitoring required for this subrecipient.
2. Our Grant Management Specialist (GMS) will draft the subaward agreement per the approved scope of work, budget and timeline. The conditions of the prime award (from the sponsor) will be incorporated into the subaward as they "flow-down" and are applicable to the subrecipient.The subaward will be issued to your collaborator's institution and must be signed by their Authorized Organizational Representative.
3. Once the subaward is executed, the GMS set them up as a vendor in ProcureSU and will set up a declining PO for the total contract value so that payments can be expedited when the first invoice is received.
4. The GMS will process invoices for payment, after obtaining review and approval from the PI

On an ongoing basis, it is the PI's responsibility to coordinate with their collaborator regarding the technical components of their project, reviewing and approving invoices prior to payment to ensure that the work has been completed as described, and to obtain the necessary reports or information in order to meet the sponsor's reporting requirements.

When an invoice is received:

1. The PI must review and approve each invoice for payment after confirming (either through knowledge of the collaborator's progress or a report) that the work has been completed as described on the invoice.
2. Submit the invoice through ProcureSU for payment under the declining PO for this contract.

On an annual basis, the Associate Controller will conduct an annual review in alignment with this subrecipient's risk assessment monitoring plan as determined at the contract execution stage.

Budgeting and Documenting a Contractor in a Proposal

• If the person or entity is identified and named in the proposal, a Contractor Letter of Commitment including a scope of work and total cost is required. Please note: The sponsor or program to which you are applying may have additional requirements or specifications for any named contractors or consultants.
• If the individual or entity is not known but a contracted service is necessary, conduct market research or obtain several quotes in order to budget sufficient funds for the services.

For all contractors, competitive bidding requirements must be met as outlined in the Procurement Policy for Sponsored Project funded equipment and services.

Procedure

1. OSP's Grant Management Specialist (GMS) will draft the contractor agreement based on the scope of work and will coordinate with the Office of University Counsel as appropriate.
2. The GMS will issue the contract to contractor for signature then will obtain SU's Authorized Organizational Representative's approval.
3. OSP will return the fully executed agreement to you and your contractor. If the contractor is a sole proprietor as determined on the Contract Coversheet, the SRO will complete and send the Pre-Work Disclosures for the contractor's signature.
4. The GMS will set-up the contractor as a vendor within ProcureSU. 
5. The GMS will set-up the purchase order and upload  executed contract as back-up documentation for payments to be processed.
