It is wise to have your collaborator check with his or her home institution about when a subcontract or sub-award is required. Generally speaking, if the collaborator is getting paid during his or regular appointment period, requesting funds for a graduate research assistant or other employee, or needs funds for laboratory costs or other research supplies, you MUST include a subcontract in the budget and management plan. If the collaborator is provided only limited support for a project that requires him or her to be at his or her laboratory or use his or her institutional resources, then that individual may qualify to be paid as a consultant. Please provide ORSP with additional lead time if you have one or more collaborators on your project. Items ORSP needs for a subcontract are the other organization\u2019s UEI and\/or DUNS number, administrative grant contract information, name of the PI at the other organization, a scope of work, a letter of commitment from the institution\u2019s authorizing official, and a budget.<strong> All subcontractors\u00a0must complete a\u00a0subrecipient\u00a0commitment form.<\/strong>\u00a0ORSP will assist in establishing this documentation.
