Jeannine,

We were told by a program officer's email  that subawards were not allowed.
We tried to get clarity on this but to no avail. After several unanswered
phone calls to the agency, we plan to use the contractual line item for the
partner subcontracts as described in EDGAR.  However, the FITW budget
guidelines state that the contractual line is to be used for the
evaluators.  I don't see how you can pay partners from other institutions
without having subcontracts. but then again I don't know how they can call
this a "training grant" with 8% indirects when this is clearly a research
proposal. I will be curious to learn how others are handling this too.

Does anyone have any best practices for handling partners for the
Department of Education's First in the World opportunities?  Sub-awards are
not allowed, so are you including these costs as contractual?
