Federal Demonstration Partnership Subaward Template Update

There are recent changes to the Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) subaward agreement forms that BU uses. With these changes, beginning May 1, 2017, PIs will be required to share key compliance information with the Sponsored Programs Subaward Team before a subaward will be issued.

In addition to confirming the subaward scope of work and budget, the Subaward Team will ask the PI to confirm whether the subaward activity involves work with human or animal subjects, embryonic stem cell use, or the exchange of human subjects data. If the subaward activity involves the exchange of human subjects data, the PI will be asked to complete an information form before human subjects data is exchanged. This will enable Sponsored Programs to assess whether a Data Use Agreement will be required.

Please note that if a Data Use Agreement is required, this will not delay issuance of the subaward. Sponsored Programs will negotiate this as a follow-up action and incorporate it into the subaward agreement by amendment prior to the exchange of the human subjects data.
