New Subrecipient Monitoring Requirements, Effective October 15, 2015

As previously announced, as part of the implementation of Uniform Guidance, the federal agencies have added additional specific requirements for the oversight of subrecipients. As a result, our Subrecipient Monitoring Program has been expanded to meet these requirements.  An overview of this full program (including everyone’s role in the process) can be accessed at Sub Monitoring Program Document.  Everyone who is responsible for the administration of sponsored programs at Emory is required to read this document and understand their role in the process.  Sections 1 and 4 cover the additional responsibilities of RAS (or Department if pre-RAS).  Section 2 covers OSP’s role and Section 3 covers FGC’s (previous OGCA’s) role.

As a part of these requirements, effective October 15, 2015, when a subrecipient request is submitted to OSP by the RAS Unit or Department, two new documents will be required.  They are:

  1. Checklist to Determine Subrecipient or Contractor Classification
  2. Subrecipient Commitment Form and Institutional Profile (unless there is one less than one year old already on file at Emory)

A subcontract request cannot be processed without the items above.  These forms can be accessed at http://osp.emory.edu/systems/sub-request.html.

If you have any questions regarding submitting a subaward request or the completion of the two documents above, please contact your RAS or OSP Administrator.   If you have other questions regarding the Subrecipient Monitoring Program, please submit them to Kerry Peluso at kpeluso@emory.edu.
