Overview
In some cases a subcontract (SUBK) associated with a PAF will be managed by a Principal Investigator (PI) other than the PAF Contact PI and/or a department other than the PAF Administrative Home. “Management” provides the ability to enter the SUBK worksheet and execute activities (e.g., SUBK submission, approval of the draft subcontract). In eRPM, SUBK management is recorded via two activities:
- Assign SUBK Management – completed by the PAF Administrative Home
- Accept SUBK Management – completed by the unit reviewer in the department to which the SUBK is assigned. Refer to the Quick Reference Card for Reviewers for more information.
Important Information
Upon unit acceptance, the work to establish the SUBK is transferred to the new department, but the PAF contact PI remains responsible for all subcontract activity associated with the project. The PAF Administrative Home department retains access to the SUBK.
