Notice of Award
Funding agencies normally issue a Notice of Award (NoA) that sets the framework for the awarded project. The contract process for the NIH projects starts with the Notice of Award.
Being awarded
Types of agreements will vary depending on whether KI is the prime recipient of the award or a subawardee.
Regardless of whether KI is the prime recipient of the award, you must submit a copy of the NoA to compliance@ki.se
KI as the prime award recipient
When KI is the prime award recipient of NIH funds, a grantee indicates acceptance of an award and its associated Terms & Conditions by drawing or requesting funds from the designated HHS payment system or office. Once the award is accepted by the grantee, the contents of the NoA are binding for the grantee. If KI is the prime recipient of US funds other than NIH, a grantee will need to sign an agreement once negotiations between KI and the funding body are completed.
KI at the subaward recipient
When KI is a subaward recipient, a subaward agreement or similar is required to regulate the work done at KI. In such cases, KI may need to provide additional information and assurances together with the subaward agreement.
Please forward any requests or questions you may get regarding agreements and supplemental information to compliance@ki.se
Signing process
Agreements and contracts must always be signed by the Head of the Department and co-signed by the KI-authorised signing official. Please contact the compliance@ki.se to assist you with the signing process.
