Sponsored programs must be closed out timely to ensure submission of final invoices and final financial reporting by the deadlines required. This matrix is to be used as a guide for common items that require the attention of the department to facilitate close out.

How is a subaward established?

Subawards must be approved by the Sponsoring agency.  This is generally completed as a part of the proposal process.  For more information regarding Subrecipients and subawards, please visit the Sponsored Awards Management (SAM) Office website or reach out to your assigned SAM administrator. 

Office of Sponsored Awards Management | University of South Carolina (sc.edu)  

 

How will the subrecipient receive payment?

As outlined within the terms and conditions of the agreement, the subrecipient should email invoices to the invoicing address listed on attachment 3A.  

A copy of a sample invoice can be found at the link below.

Sample Invoice Template [pdf]

Once the invoice has been received by the Controller’s Office, it will be emailed to the USC PI for approval. 

The invoice should be reviewed, and charges compared to the subrecipient budget.  Ensure the items listed in item 2 of the terms and conditions are included on the invoice.  The invoice must relate to the scope of work expected to be performed and is consistent with any other reports needed from the subrecipient.  

If everything on the invoice matches the budget and scope, email your approval to the Controller’s Office by replying to their email.  If changes are needed, please reach out to the subrecipient to request changes be made and the invoice can be resubmitted by the subrecipient.  

Once the invoice is fully approved by you and the Controller’s Office, the funds for reimbursement will be sent to the subrecipient.

The Controller’s Office is pleased to announce the President approved the release of FINA 3.35 - Grants and Funds Management - Cost Transfer Policy [PDF]. The purpose of this policy is to set forth the University of South Carolina’s requirements for cost transfers to, from or between sponsored projects.

The following resources:

New Cost Transfer Policy and Retro Funding Changes Webinar Recording

Update: As of April 15, 2021, any cost transfer (including Retro Funding Changes) must have a cost transfer justification form attached, if they impact sponsored awards.  This form replaces the need for any memos that would otherwise have been included when requesting transfers.

This form is to protect all vested parties

  • Ensures PI review and approval prior to expenses being moved
  • Ensures proper documentation to avoid audit findings
