Subawards/Collaborations
Subawards
Per 2 CFR 200.92, Subaward means an award provided by a pass-through entity to a subrecipient for the subrecipient to carry out a part of a federal award received by the pass-through entity.
A prime awardee is an entity that receives an award from a Federal agency. Per 2 CFR 200.93, Subrecipient means a non-Federal entity that receives a subaward from a pass-through entity to carry out a part of a Federal program; but does not include an individual that is a beneficiary of such a program.
