When including a proposed subaward to another organization in an application for funding, the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) requires the following documentation and evidence of institutional support for the proposal:
- Institutionally endorsed subaward statement of intent (a template is available on OSP’s website)
- Detailed subaward budget
- Subaward scope of work
- Any sponsor-required documents pertaining to the subrecipient, such as budget justifications
Sponsor electronic portals may also have specific requirements for proposed subrecipients. For example, Research.gov submissions require subrecipients to have both a Unique Entity ID (UEI) and a National Science Foundation (NSF) ID.
Carefully review sponsor requirements and obtain all required documentation and information from subrecipients prior to submission of a proposal to the OSP.
