In most cases, subrecipeint agreements will be to other universities for services similar to those performed by the University (research, instruction, and public service). The subrecipient agreement document will be referenced as either a subcontract, subgrant, or sub-agreement. This determination will be based on the prime award being issued as a contract, grant, or agreement.

Upon full execution of the subrecipient agreement, the Accounting staff of the Sponsored Programs Administation Office will assure the establishment and maintenance of appropriate accounting records pertaining to the subaward, monitor the financial obligations of the sub-awardee, and act as the central depository for all documentation for audit purposes including the receipt of the final technical, patent, property and financial reports.
