Subaward Closeout
The principal investigator (PI) is responsible for submitting required technical, property, and invention reports and/or any other required deliverables specified in the subrecipient agreement to the awarding agency or prime sponsor. Typical subaward closeout activities can include receipt of the following:
- Final invoice (marked “Final”);
- Final technical report;
- Final invention statement (if applicable);
- Final property disposition (if applicable);
- and reconciliation of subaward finances followed by liquidating the purchase order.
The university has created a checklist to help with closeout activities for the PI.
