Subcontracts

If you will have a subcontractor in your project you should bookmark this page for reference. It contains the request forms that must be completed by departments when requesting a subcontract. The page also includes some handy tips and forms for working with subrecipients.

Overview

Subrecipient agreements are used when UC Denver is purchasing personal services from an external source or vendor, such as another university, with funds from an external sponsor, such as National Institutes of Health.

Subcontract or Contract?

What is the difference between a contract and subcontract? Contracts are used when money is coming into the University; subcontracts are used when money is leaving the University for work that is being done at another institution or entity. Please refer to the Contracts page of the website if a contract is needed.
