Subcontract agreements are established when an investigator receives funding from a sponsor and requires the participation of other institutions to realize research target goals. Subcontract agreements describe the terms and conditions governing the research relationship between the prime contractor and secondary entities. In most cases, the terms and conditions that are developed between the sponsor and the prime institution flow down to the secondary institution via the subcontract agreement. The prime institution may also impose additional time-dependent or deliverable conditions to permit compliance with sponsor requirements (i.e., receipt of financial and\/or technical reports).<\/p>\n

A subcontract or subaward is included in a grant when a significant portion of the work being proposed involves another institution or collaborator that cannot be paid directly as senior personnel. A subcontractor has\u00a0responsibility for internal programmatic decision-making and design; is responsible for assisting the prime recipient in meeting the goals of the project; and retains intellectual property and copyright to the work produced by the subcontractor\u2019s personnel and\/or may co-author an article in a professional research journal.<\/em><\/p>\n

A subcontract is also distinguished from a vendor or contract\/purchase order because a vendor\/contractor<\/em> provides similar goods and services to multiple customers as part of his or her routine business operations; competes for customers with other like providers; does not retain intellectual property or copyright to the deliverables nor seek joint authorship.\u00a0 One example would be a laboratory that routinely provides carbon dating analysis or DNA scans.<\/p>\n

Whereas a consultant might give advice or an opinion about a project, an active collaborator provides essential services or components for a project.<\/em> Whereas a consultant would not utilize\u00a0his\/her home institution\u2019s facilities to work with you, a subcontractor would need a lab or other specialized space to complete his\/her work or may need to hire a graduate student or post-doc for the project.\u00a0A consultant provides services on a \u201cwork for hire\u201d basis and all intellectual property or copyrightable rights are assigned to CUNY.<\/em><\/p>\n

If a subcontract is proposed, please bear in mind that prior to submitting the proposal,you must obtain permission from the collaborating institution\u2019s authorizing official. To make this process easier for everyone involved, we have assembled this checklist of what ORSP needs to ensure your proposal is complete:<\/strong><\/p>\n
