1. cuResearch Event Forms (Requesting a Subaward)

2. Events You can now request a subaward through cuResearch, using “Events”! What is a Subaward? Subawards* transfer a portion of the research funding awarded to Carleton to another institution or organization, a sub-recipient. Each sponsor may have its own guidelines regarding who can receive research funding through a subaward. Most commonly, subawards are issued to research team members appearing at the title of co-investigator. The sub-recipient is responsible for adhering to the terms and conditions of the subaward, including those flowed down from the agency’s terms and conditions. By signing the subaward agreement, the sub-recipient is assuming responsibility for the delivery of the research activities described in the subaward’s scope of work, as well as the financial management of their portion of the funding. *subaward also refers to subcontracts, transfers of funds, inter-institutional agreements, etc.
