Hello,

 

Can an institution do a separately submitted collaborative proposal AND have subawards? I thought it was one or the other?

 

A collaborative proposal is one in which investigators from two or more organizations wish to collaborate on a unified research project. Collaborative proposals may be submitted to NSF in one of two methods: as a single proposal, in which a single award is being requested (with subawards administered by the lead organization); or by simultaneous submission of proposals from different organizations, with each organization requesting a separate award

 

That said, I thought I read recently that a collaborating institution submitting separately had a subaward. Is this only possible if you are not the lead institution?

 

As always, thank you in advance for the guidance!
