Award Negotiation

In the event that a sponsor requests substantial changes to the budget (involving a reduction equal to or greater than 20% overall), the PI should consider modifying the scope of work to reflect the reduced level of available support;
Where no reduction in the scope of work is proposed, or where the reduced budget has an impact on a University cost sharing commitment, the PI must seek the concurrence, in writing, of those who endorsed the External Funding Routing Form. To facilitate this review, the PI may request that OSRG prepare a new External Funding Routing Form;
In cases where the sponsor requests changes that impact regulatory compliance (for example, if the sponsor requests a change that will affect a submitted or approved human subjects protocol), the PI must ensure that an amendment is provided to the appropriate regulatory committee in a timely manner;
In the event the sponsor proposes or requires changes that affect the work, budget, or regulatory compliance for a subawardee, the PI and OSRG will work together to communicate the changes to the subawardee institution and resolve the changes.
