Subawards - funding from MSU to Collaborators

Overview
Many sponsor agencies encourage collaboration in research.  If a grant is issued to MSU and work is to be performed at another institution, a subaward may need to be issued.  The subcontract manager in the Office of Sponsored Programs is responsible for the processing and monitoring of all subawards issued from MSU to collaborative researchers.

Request a Subaward

Requesting a Subaward is a two step process.

  1. Download the Subaward Request form and the Subrecipient Commitment Form. Complete all the steps outlined in the Subaward Request form.
  2. When all the steps in the Subaward Request form have been completed, staple everything together as a packet and send it to OSP for processing. Your packet must include at a minimum:
    1. Subaward Request Form
    2. Subrecipient Commitment Form
    3. Scope of Work
    4. Budget

Modify an existing subaward
Modifications to the prime award do not automatically flow down to the subaward.  If a modification (i.e. changes in budget, cost sharing, scope of work, time period, etc) needs to be made to a subaward, the MSU PI needs to submit a Modification Request form to the OSP subcontract manager.
