91吃瓜网

A subaward is a document between the primary award recipient (91吃瓜网) and a secondary institution. The subaward contains the work specifications, approved budget, and the terms and conditions under which the work is to be accomplished. A subaward is issued when a third-party organization is needed to perform a scientific or programmatic portion of a 91吃瓜网 sponsored project. The awarding agency holds the primary award recipient (91吃瓜网) responsible for the subawardee鈥檚 work performance, its outcomes, and financial and regulatory compliance oversight.

If 91吃瓜网 is to serve as a subawardee, the same proposal preparation and routing is required. RSP requests that the Principal Investigator (PI) submit an Intent to Apply and work with our office to develop a budget that will be routed along with 91吃瓜网鈥檚 Scope of Work (SOW), budget justification, and Proposal Administrative Review (PAR) PI form prior to submission to the lead institution, which typically takes place 7-10 days prior to the submission deadline.

The term 鈥渟ubaward鈥� includes the following types of award mechanisms:

• Subgrant
• Subcontract
• Collaboration Agreement
• Consortium Agreement

The type of subaward is determined by the mechanism utilized for the prime award. For example, a grant issued to 91吃瓜网, may contain a subgrant to the secondary institution, whereas a contract will warrant issuance of a subcontract.

What is the difference between the Subaward process and the Procurement of Services/Consultant Services?

A subawardee is an organization that will carry out a portion of the project independently under the Sub-awardee鈥檚 Project Director using the resources and facilities of his/her place of employment but reports progress regularly to 91吃瓜网. A subawardee is an organization responsible for managing the technical and administrative aspects of a scope of work, and providing progress/annual reports to the PI, as necessary.

A service provider is an organization/vendor from which 91吃瓜网 procures consulting services, technical services such as lab work, film editing etc., and/or general support services. The work does not involve scientific and/or programmatic collaboration; it is more characteristic of a buyer-seller relationship. This type of service does not constitute a sub-award.

A consultant is an individual (including individuals operating under a business name), usually an expert, working on a project as an independent contractor and therefore is not under the direction of 91吃瓜网 and/or the Principal Investigator. Individuals generally render services on a 鈥渨ork for hire鈥� basis and assign all tangible and intangible property rights to 91吃瓜网. A contract for consultant services does not generally require the inclusion of the terms and conditions contained in 91吃瓜网鈥檚 prime award. Consultants are retained in accordance with CI鈥檚 Independent Contractor Policy. Under this standard, 91吃瓜网 would not direct or retain control over a consultant. Consulting services are different than sub-awards.

An employer-employee relationship exists when 91吃瓜网 personnel have a great deal of control over the work, including providing regular supervision, decision-making and guidance. In this situation, the person should be classified as an employee, NOT as a consultant.
