  1. Account holder (PI) must ascertain that the intended subgrantee is eligible to receive the subgrant: typically this means they are formally listed as a co-applicant
  2. If necessary, a grant amendment form can be completed to request adding a new co-applicant to an existing project for tri-agency grants
  3. The Account holder (PI) submits a request for subgrant form to ORS. Note that there is a separate form to request subgrants for UBC Internal grants.

 

Receiving a Subgrant
