Setting up Subcontracts
When UMKC is the lead organization
If your proposal is awarded, the subcontract(s) should be set up as soon as possible. To initiate a subcontract to another organization, you will need to complete a Request for Subcontract Information form, and return it to Office of Research Services. ORS prepares/administers subcontracts to corporations, other universities, non-profits; etc., but not to individuals. For contracts with individuals (e.g. consulting) see Colin Gage (Director, Business Services) memo dated March 21, 1996 for consulting guidelines.
Once the subcontract package is prepared, two copies will be signed by ORS and sent to the subcontractor for approval. A copy of the package will be also sent to the PI and fiscal officer. When the fully executed subcontract package is returned to ORS, a copy will be sent to the PI, fiscal officer and the granting agency.
When UMKC is the subcontracted organization
If the proposal is awarded, the lead organization will send UMKC a subcontract to approve and sign. If you have questions, please call ORS, (816) 235-5600.
