Negotiation of new subaward


  1. Subawards GCO will determine the subagreement type to be used: Types of Subaward Agreements and Amendments.
  2. Once agreement type has been determined, the Subawards GCO will draft subagreement and send it to Principal Investigator for approval (cc the RA) using the email function in ERA. The Subawards GCO will then move the task to “With Internal Parties.”
  3. Once approval has been received, the approval will be documented in the Subawards Task under the “Negotiation Information” page, and upload the approval email to the “Finalize Subaward Task Request” page.
  4. Subawards GCO will send the subagreement to the Subrecipient for review and signature using the email function in ERA.
  5. If necessary, the Subawards GCO will negotiate any clauses the Subrecipient takes exception to, and will send the final agreement to the PI for approval (repeat of step 2). The task status will be updated to “With External Parties.”
