Outgoing Subawards

An Outgoing Subaward is an agreement between UNT Health and a Subrecipient who will receive a portion of funding from a Sponsored Project and will carry out a defined portion of the project's work. Subrecipients are collaborators who perform substantive programmatic activities and contribute intellectually to project aims. The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) determines whether an external party should be classified as a Subrecipient or vendor following the criteria outlined in Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR 200. 

The Contracts Team oversees all compliance and due-diligence activities related to initiation of outgoing subawards. This includes screenings of subrecipients and their principal investigators, performing subaward risk assessments, developing risk mitigation plans, and drafting and executing subawards that meet all requirements of the Prime Award. Regardless of what was required at the proposal stage, every Outgoing Subaward issued by UNT Health must include, at minimum, a statement of work, a detailed budget and a budget justification.  

Outgoing Subawards are initiated by OSP at the award stage. If you have a question about an Outgoing Subaward currently in negotiation or in need of renewal, please contact ospcontracts@unthealth.edu. 

Once executed, Outgoing Subawards require substantial financial and programmatic oversight. The Office of Research Financial Compliance is responsible for tracking subaward financial progress and ensuring ongoing financial compliance through the life of each subaward. Questions related to subaward invoicing and burn rate should be directed to the Office of Research Financial Compliance.
