Text of Recommendation | Direct UTD to strengthen the administrative and management internal controls and procedures over transferring significant parts of NSF-funded research to other organizations. Updated procedures could include: • Establishing procedures that require UTD to verify that, for any subaward under an NSF grant awarded to UTD, it specifically obtains approval from the NSF Grants Officer prior to issuing a subaward. This could be completed either as part of the NSF grant budget or through a formal FastLane request to transfer the research or effort. • Requiring periodic training for Principal Investigators and other personnel permitted to issue subaward agreements under NSF awards. |
