Things we’ve learned…
Communicate, communicate,
communicate!
Applicants need to make connections at
their own institutions prior to submitting
an application … and keep the lines open
throughout the project.
Subcontracts are between institutions
HESC can’t issue subcontracts while we are
on forward funding.
SU issues subcontract payments on a costreimbursable basis.
Grantees must follow their own institution’s
budget procedures and records.
Regarding proposal budgets…
Supplies & materials may only be a small
portion of a budget (typically, $200 and under).
Indirect cost rate calculations can be tricky.
Some institutions will require that
fringe benefits be added.
Keep the calculators fully charged!
The MOST important things
we’ve learned….
Everything takes longer than we think it
should.
No two institutions do things the same
way.
Folks who work in finance live in
different world than we do!
