Subcontract / Subagreement

A legally binding agreement creating and defining the obligations between UGA or UGARF as the prime award recipient and a third party (subrecipient), frequently another university.

A subcontract/subagreement should not be included in a proposal unless you have the appropriate support documents from the third party; otherwise, you are committing another entity’s personnel and resources in the project without approval from that entity’s Authorized Organization Representative (AOR). The subrecipient should provide the following documents to UGA well in advance of proposal review and submission by the SPA:

  • Specific scope of work
  • Detailed budget by category, including cost sharing
  • Budget justification
  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Letter of institutional approval
  • Other documents as required
