Award Documents

As stated in the Å·ÃÀÊÓÆµâ€™s Board of Governor’s Policy, all grant applications and agreements must be reviewed and approved through the Office of Sponsored Programs & Research Integrity. OSPRI staff will get all of the necessary approvals for each application.

  • Primary Award Agreement: The primary award agreement is awarded by the funding agency to UCM or to the pass-through entity.
  • Subaward Agreement: The subaward is the agreement issued from the pass-through to their subrecipient. Not all grant agreements have a subaward.

The Primary Award Agreement must be completed before a subaward agreement can be issued. If the prime award is from federal funding, and the subaward is for $25,000 or more, the prime must complete Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) reporting by the end of the month of a fully executed agreement.

OSPRI will complete the following to process the agreement:

  • Coordinate with UCM’s Legal Affairs & Risk Management office to ensure that all agreements conform to UCM’s standards and do not jeopardize the university.
  • Serve as the agreement negotiator, as needed, to resolve any issues in the agreement’s language, scope of work, and/or budget.
  • Secure all necessary signatures from Authorized Organizational Representatives (AORs), Fiscal Officers, and/or notary publics; and.
  • Return the executed contract to the funder and will retain the original fully executed agreement (when available) for audit purposes.
