Subaward Processes and Forms

When Temple is the Prime recipient  of external funding and the PI intends to establish a third-party relationship under that award, there are three types of relationships as defined below.

Subrecipient

 

Vendor

 

Consultant

 

This relationship exists when funding from a pass-through entity is provided to perform a substantial portion of the scope of work or objectives of the pass- through entity's award agreement with the…awarding agency. (A pass-through entity is an entity that provides an award to a subawardee to carry out a program.)

 

Generally a dealer, distributor or other seller that provides, for example, supplies, expendable materials, or data processing services in support of the project activities.

 

Experts outside the University hired to perform a service on the project for a short period of time. Consultants are not supervised by a university employee, they do not supervise any university employees, they do not have use of university facilities and resources, they take on a profit/loss risk, etc.
