Subaward at the Time of Award

When a Subaward was not Part of the Original Proposal

Some sponsors require prior written approval to issue subawards not included in the original submitted proposal. For many federal grants, see Research Terms and Conditions Prior Approval Matrix for more information. If you need assistance in determining whether the anticipated subaward would need prior approval, contact the Division of Sponsored Programs.

Subaward Process: UFIRST Award Setup

Subawards should be requested through UFIRST by the Department. To request a new Subaward, see the UFIRST Instructional Guide under the UFIRST Awards Section at the UF My Training Toolkits webpage.

ACTIVITY in UFIRST UFIRST STATE
DSP Reviews Scope of Work and Budget Core Office Review
IF DSP Requests Changes Pending Responsible Unit Edits
IF DSP ACCEPTS, the Subaward is acknowledged in UFIRST and a Subcontract Officer is assigned Risk Assessment or Under Negotiation

Common errors in routing subawards to DSP:

  • Missing Documents (no Scope of Work or Detailed Budget)
  • Budget does not match requested amount of Subaward
  • Document provided does not represent a clear scope of work

From DSP acceptance through to completion, the subaward status is NOW tracked in UFIRST.  The DSP Subaward Tracking Tool is still available for subawards executed prior to the implementation of the new UFIRST Subaward Module (November 12, 2018). Please direct any questions regarding the Subaward Tracking Tool to the Outgoing Subawards Office at ufsubawards@ufl.edu.
