This workshop will start with examining some of the tougher issues that arise under subawards (subgrants) and move on to dealing with the niceties of issuing and managing subcontracts. Some of the topics that will be covered include resolving "gray" distinctions between vendor agreements and subawards, reviewing A-133 audit reports that are not clean to properly identify and address problematic issues via subaward language or corrective action plans; identifying and resolving mid-award issues that arise (invoicing, performance, etc.); dealing with premature terminations; subcontracting under the FAR and how it differs from issuing a subgrant, and working with international collaborators and subrecipients. It is expected that participants will actively engage in the discussion.
Participants should be able to locate and use the basic rules governing subawards and should be familiar with the basic process of issuing subawards under grants, as these topics will not be covered in this workshop. It is not expected that participants have extensive experience beyond issuing sub-grants, though a broad range of experiences will serve to strengthen the overall discussion expected in this workshop.
