[Flex] NSF's Complaint: Subaward Agreement Letter

[Olga Carr]

Hi All,

Just so you are aware while NSF may not require it, this office should receive either an institutional letter committing their organization to working with us or they may have a form similar to the one I've created for a number of proposals. That letter would be kept by GCS and should be signed by their institutional official.

Hi Flex -

Hadn't seen this before so I thought I would share.

When there is a subaward on an NSF proposal, we have generally included the subaward agreement letter in the Supplementary Documents.
On a recently submitted IOS proposal, NSF wrote to the PI and asked that we remove the letter, as "It is unnecessary as the subaward is fully documented in the budget."

So there you have it, never submit anything you don't need to.

Drew
