a second question about 501(c)(3) research foundation subcontracting back to the university Laura Letbetter 20 Oct 2010 10:49 EST
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.

Or does your foundation handle things like procurement of equipment and supplies, travel reimbursement, payments to consultants and contractors, etc. Laura Letbetter Director, Proposal Development and Programmatic Research Office of Grants and Contracts Kennesaw State University 1000 Chastain Road, Mailstop 0111 Kennesaw, GA 30144 770-499-3365 phone 770-499-3620 fax xxxxxx@kennesaw.edu http://www.kennesaw.edu/ogc ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org <http://www.hrinet.org/> (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ======================================================================
