Contracts & Subcontracts

The CHHS Pre-Award Office is available to develop agreements on the behalf of University of North Carolina Charlotte principal investigators (PIs) at the time of submission. This will ensure the subawards are developed with the most up-to-date contractual language beneficial to all parties concerned and ensure a smooth transition to Post Award when the research plan is funded.

Subaward contract negotiation can be sensitive, tough work that requires navigating multiple sets of compliance. To support and alleviate this duty from CHHS researchers, the Pre-Award Office works directly with research administrators at collaborating universities. However, researchers may coordinate with collaborators prior to meeting with the Pre-Award Office. To determine how to categorize a research project collaborator at another institution or agency, researchers may find the following useful in determining what kind of “sub” is needed for the research plan:

The CHHS Pre-Award Office will work with the subaward staff to collect the required documents from subawards.
