(Recorded Webinar) Research Relationships: Primary and Subaward Compliance

This webinar is complimentary: there is no registration fee, but you will need to create an account in our system. To enroll, click here.


Duration: 60 minutes
Recorded on: 3/09/2021

Federally funded research is often conducted within a University by faculty and staff. However, a significant portion of the required work may need to be provided outside the University by a third party through a subcontract or subaward. Proposing and managing a subaward is a shared responsibility.  The goals of the relationship and nature of the parties should drive the structure, from the initial decision to establish a contractor or subrecipient relationship to the specific legal terms that are emphasized in the agreement establishing the legal relationship. 

This webinar will discuss key decision-points and key considerations in making those decisions, as well as high-risk compliance areas.  In doing so, we will address the pros and cons of standard documents such as the Federal Demonstration Partnership (“FDP”) subaward templates.  Further, we will touch upon allocation of IRB responsibilities, fundamental intellectual property considerations, and conflict of interest management.

Target Audience

  • In-House Counsel and Compliance Officers
  • Managers within Sponsored Programs and Departmental Grant Administrators
  • Principal Investigators and others involved in research

Learning Objectives

After this webinar, you will be able to:

  • Review pre-qualification activities for subrecipients
  • Discuss issues that may arise as you initiate and execute a subaward agreement
  • Explain roles, management, and common subaward monitoring concerns

For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation. We recommend that a supervisor or colleague sign the certificate to certify attendance.
