Introduction

• A Cayuse 424 Subaward is essentially a simplified proposal which consists of only a detailed budget, a Performance Site form, and a simplified Key Person form (with no slot for PI).

• Preparing each Subaward as a separate sub-proposal allows the use of Institutional Profiles and Indirect Cost rates specific to the Subaward organization, and possibly also Professional Profiles.

• There are two ways to create subawards in Cayuse:1. Creating a stand-alone subaward

2. Linking a subaward to the prime proposal

Creating Linked Subawards

• A Subaward can be created within an existing primary proposal, in which case, it is automatically linked to that prime proposal.

• Before creating a Subaward, you should have an Institutional Profile for the subcontractor and Professional Profiles for the subcontracting Key Personnel (with Institutional Associations).

• Note: After a Subaward has been linked to a Prime, all permissions on that subaward are stripped of write access. In order to write to a linked subaward, you must first open the prime and have write access to it.

Creating a Linked Subaward

1. To create a subaward within the prime proposal, navigate to the Subaward Budget Attachment form.

Please be aware that Subaward Budget Attachment form is only accessible on PROPs (proposals being submitted through Cayuse) and not PAFs or SPARs.

How Subawards & Main Proposals Function Once Linked Together

Synching Subawards Synching Subawards & Prime Proposals& Prime Proposals

Synching Subawards & Prime Proposals

• If you change budget, key person, and/or performance site data in one of the linked subaward budgets, Cayuse 424 will notice and automatically update that data in the prime as well.

• If Key Persons or Performance Sites have been added to the subaward or deleted from the main proposal, they will not be automatically synchronized to the linked prime or subaward. Likewise, if a key person or performance site is removed from the subaward, they will not automatically be removed from the prime.

Synching Subawards & Prime Proposals

• In regards to subawards with empty budget periods: Cayuse 424 expects all Subawards linked to a Prime to have the same number of budget periods as the Prime (and the same dates). When you link a subaward to a prime, it will bring up a dialog asking you to match up the subaward’s budget periods with those of the prime. There is no need to fill in any “blank” or “dummy” periods in your subaward, as Cayuse will automatically sync the periods up accordingly.
