Notices, Updates, and Reminders

The Subrecipient Commitment Form has been updated. Please use the latest version, dated 10/17/2024.

Notice regarding the Uniform Guidance 2024 Revision

All Kuali Research Proposals (8/21/2024):  In the Attachments section, Internal Attachments, add three placeholder documents. These placeholders allow SPA - or you - to upload internal documents without having to go through the recall/bypass process. Save a blank or placeholder document to PDF, upload, and mark as FINAL.

New fields in the Subaward Request (8/21/2024): New fields were added for compliance with federal contract requirements. The first is a yes/no question -- is the award or prime award a federal contract? Contracts are identified as such on the Description column of the Award search results in KR. Second, approval to issue the subaward is required, even if the subaward was included in the funded contract. Attach the approval. Third, we must document the sole source justification for the subrecipient. Fields are provided in the Questions section to enter a brief paragraph or upload the justification.

New fields in Kuali Build forms (8/20/2024): We've added an optional field to enter your department's Distribution List (DL) email address or shared email address. We've added new required fields for the Sponsor Contact Name and Email.

Please click "Update Now" on the notice that pops up on your draft Kuali Build forms. Changes will not affect forms already submitted into workflow.
