How to help classify funding type
Gift vs Sponsored ProjectGuidance from NU-RES to assist PIs and other stakeholders in determining whether funding is a gift (unrestricted award provided with no deliverables or other requirements) or a grant/contract (funding provided with deliverables, terms and conditions, a set period of performance, etc.)
Subrecipient vs Contractor ChecklistGuidance from FDP to assist in determining whether an external partner should be classified as a subrecipient or a contractor. Subrecipients are responsible for meeting reporting requirements to the pass-through-entity and to the prime sponsor; they are active in shaping the research project; and they can expect to publish the results of their work on the research project. Contractors are not responsible for reporting or directing the project’s activities, nor should they expect to publish the results of their work.
