How to get a Sub-Account

NOTE:  An additional account is not needed to allow another Department or College to spend on an existing project. This may be accomplished by adding the necessary spending edit to the existing account.  To achieve this, please send a request to your Departmental Research Administrator or College/School Representative.

To request a subaccount on an existing account:

    If an account or multiple accounts exist and an additional account is required, complete the form: Single Subaccount Form.

    The form must be routed for signature or e-mail approval through the departments and Dean's office(s) of the subaccount and if different, the department and Dean's Office of the primary account.

    Note that the senior or existing account will be reduced by the budget indicated as the subaccount budget.  Without proper justification, the account must have the same F&A rate as the primary account.

For a new group of subaccounts:

    If a block of accounts is required, complete the form: Multiple Subaccount Form.

    The form must be routed for signature or e-mail approval through all departments and Dean's offices of all requested accounts.

    At the time of award, RSP will ask for a breakout of the budget categories (including associated F&A costs) by account that match the awarded amount.

Routing of Forms

    The subaccount forms should be routed electronically.  An e-mail forwarded through the appropriate Department and then Dean's Office will be accepted as the necessary signatures.
