 Subrecipient Monitoring

UMass Chan Medical School is responsible for monitoring the programmatic and financial activities of its subrecipients in order to ensure proper stewardship of sponsor funds.  Subawards are subject to federal and/or agency-specific regulations established by the prime sponsor.

This guidance has been developed to assist administrators at the department and central levels with subrecipient monitoring.  The use of the Subrecipient Tools and the scope of monitoring procedures should be determined by the PI and administrators based on the nature of the grant and the perceived risk associated with the subrecipient.
