Issuing a Subaward
Once FAU receives a prime award, any subawards that were included in the original proposal may be negotiated and executed. Please see the Subaward Workflow Chart below for a comprehensive understanding of the subaward issuing process:
| STAGE 1: | Log and conduct preliminary review within 48 hours of receipt of award agreement |
| STAGE 2A: | Conduct a full review and redline mark-up of award agreement within 5-10 business days |
| STAGE 2B: | Send award agreement to applicable offices for review/approval (General Counsel, Export Control, Office of Tech Development, etc.) |
| STAGE 3A: | Any edits or requested revisions are sent to the Sponsor for their review |
| STAGE 3B: | Sponsor revisions and comments are reviewed and award agreement may return to Stage 2B, if applicable |
| STAGE 4A: | Once the terms and conditions are finalized, the PI may be contacted to provide assurances and approvals as applicable |
| STAGE 4B: | Award agreement is routed to both parties’ authorized officials for signature |
| STAGE 5: | Award agreement is fully executed and sent for post-award |
When a subrecipient entity completes the subaward application, applicable compliance approvals will be collected including IRB, IBC, or IACUC protocol approvals. OSP will work with the Office of Research Integrity to ensure all subawards are compliant with all applicable rules and regulations in these areas.
Once a subaward has been drafted and both parties have approved and accepted all terms and conditions, the subaward agreement will be routed to both parties’ authorized officials for signatures. Upon execution, a copy of the subaward agreement will be provided to the Office of Research Accounting for account set-up.
