A subaward relationship is generally described at the time of proposal submission and included in the budget, but is not formalized until after the award has been made to NDSU.

The subawardee:

• Must be identified in proposed budget to ensure that costs are calculated correctly and so that appropriate documentation can be included in the proposal.
• Must provide a statement of work, detailed budget, and signature approval of their authorized representative.
• Has considerable discretionary judgment and responsibility for programmatic decision making.
• Contributes to the scholarly/scientific conduct of the project as described in the statement of work for the prime award.
• Investigator would be considered as a co-author of publications resulting from the work performed under the prime award.

When budgets include subawards, apply NDSU F&A rate but only to the first $25,000 of each subaward.
