A subrecipient is an individual or other entity outside the University who will perform a portion of the actual scope of work. This relationship implies that the subrecipient is an integral part of the project and accepts responsibility for a portion of the project effort. Subrecipients are usually in the original proposal as collaborating institutions.
Subrecipient documents normally required:
- Letter of intent (special format for NIH)
- Budget
- Description of work
- Signed sponsor face page and certification pages
- Any other sponsor specific requirement
Please note:
- Include both direct and Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs of the subcontractor as a direct cost line item in the UK budget. For grants using the full university rate, UK may assess F&A on the first $25,000 of each subcontractor.
- The PI must review the budget to determine that it is reasonable in terms of the scope of work.
- The PI must determine that the proposed subrecipient is technically able to perform the work.
- Subagreements usually require prior sponsor approval if not in the proposal.
