Considerations and Requirements for Proposed Subawards

When including a proposed subaward to another organization in an application for funding, the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) requires the following documentation and evidence of institutional support for the proposal:

  • Institutionally endorsed subaward statement of intent (a template is available on OSP’s website)
  • Detailed subaward budget
  • Subaward scope of work
  • Any sponsor-required documents pertaining to the subrecipient, such as budget justifications

Sponsor electronic portals may also have specific requirements for proposed subrecipients.  For example, Research.gov submissions require subrecipients to have both a Unique Entity ID (UEI) and a National Science Foundation (NSF) ID.

Carefully review sponsor requirements and obtain all required documentation and information from subrecipients prior to submission of a proposal to the OSP.
