Rethinking my question, I should have been more specific about why I am
asking: Our university is in the process of transitioning awards (new and
existing) from the university itself to  our relatively new research
foundation. We are a state institution, and to the best of our knowledge,
our sister institutions subcontract everything back to the university. My
colleagues and I have recently been tasked with finding some successful
models of research foundations that subcontract back only the personnel,
while retaining the rest of the funds and managing things like
procurement, travel reimbursement, payments for consultants and contracts,
etc. through the research foundation. Frankly, we do not know of any
institutions that do it this way. If you know of any, we would love to
hear from you.

Thanks again,
Laura

Subject: [RESADM-L] question about 501(c)(3) research foundation
subcontracting back to the university

This question is for those of you at public universities with affiliated
501(c)(3) research foundations: When the research foundation receives an
award, do you subcontract everything back to the university? Or does your
foundation handle things like procurement of equipment and supplies,
travel reimbursement, payments to consultants and contractors, etc.
