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.
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.
