All Sponsored Contracts/Awards received by the University that require the University to acquire or procure sponsored project services from a third party in support of the University’s Sponsored Research must have a Subagreement document prepared to formalize the contractual relationship between the University and the third party. All such Subawards/subcontracts and any changes or modifications to Subagreements must be requested electronically via through the Subaward Request System.

OSP is currently maintaining two separate request system. The preferred submission method is via the Compass-based Subaward Request system. Through March 31st, campus users needing to request a Subaward on a sponsored project may use either the existing request system or the new Compass-based Subaward Request System. After March 31st, the old Subaward Request System will be retired and all Subaward Requests will be submitted through the new system.

Any request submitted through the old system will be completed in the old system. These requests will not be transferred to the new system.

We strongly encourage users to make the transition to the Compass-based system with their next Subaward request. Benefits of the new system include:

• Use of a single system (Compass) for grants administration activities
• Reduction of data entry for award-specific information
• Ability for campus users to track the status of their subaward throughout the process

Detailed instructions for using the system are attached. If you have a question or issue with the new system, please contact psgrants@emory.edu.
