Chapter 10-200: Special UC Organizational Considerations in Contract and Grant Administration

Some University contract and grant administration issues and considerations are primarily a function of the University's internal organization and operation. These special considerations as described at 10-210 through 10-253 should be understood and accommodated by all University personnel involved in the contract and grant administration function.

10-210 Proposals/awards Requiring Regents' Action or Op Approval

10-211 General

Authority to solicit, approve, and accept or execute a contract, grant, lease, or other agreement or document remains with the Board of Regents unless otherwise delegated. (See 13-500 through 13-530.) Except as restricted by Standing Order 100.4(dd), authority needed for soliciting, accepting or executing contracts and grants for research, training and public service has been delegated to the President. In accordance with Standing Order 100.4(dd), Duties of the President, the President is authorized to execute all contracts and other documents necessary in the exercise of the President's duties, including documents to solicit and accept pledges, gifts, and grants except as otherwise specifically provided in the Bylaws and Standing Orders. The President has, in turn, delegated this authority to the Chancellors, Vice President for Agriculture and Natural Resources, and the LBNL Director, up to the limit of $5 million dollar of direct costs in a year. The OP Research Policy Analysis and Coordination (RPAC) has authority to sign proposals and awards over this dollar threshold.

The Regents may, on a case-by-case basis, confer additional authority on others, usually the President and/or Officers of The Regents for selected individual projects, programs or actions. The President may, in turn, grant such additional authority to appropriate University officials.

10-212 Authorization Obtained at Scheduled Regents' Meetings

Any action which requires Regental approval under Standing Order 100.4(dd) are presented as Regents' Agenda Items at scheduled Regents' meetings. Most matters presented to The Regents are considered first by an appropriate Standing Committee of The Regents, which takes final action, if so authorized or makes a recommendation for action by The Board.

The Committee on Educational Policy has the responsibility to consider and recommend to the Board on the solicitation and acceptance or execution of grants and contracts for research, instruction, and public service, except as otherwise provided in the Bylaws and Standing Orders. Information concerning the scope of matters considered by various Committees appears in Bylaw 12 of The Regents.

10-213 Authorization Obtained on an Urgent Basis

Contract and grant matters which require Regental action, but which cannot be held for presentation at the next scheduled meeting of The Regents, fall into two categories of authority: Emergency Authority, which is exercised by the President acting alone; and Interim Authority, which is authorized by the President and the Chairman of the Board or the Chairman of The Regents' Committee having jurisdiction over the action.

a. Interim Authority

Interim Authority provides a mechanism for Regental action between The Regents' meetings. The Regents' meeting schedule is provided at: http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/regents/meetings.html.

b. Emergency Authority

In an emergency, the President is authorized to approve matters which normally require action by The Regents, as provided for in Standing Order (100.4(ee)). In practice, Emergency Authority is rarely required, but when it is, the President has full authority to act for The Regents following normal administrative review. Justification must be fully supported in a transmittal memorandum from a campus Chancellor or Laboratory Director as to why action cannot wait for a regular Board meeting or be handled under Interim Authority and why Emergency Authority action by the President is required. During the period when Interim Authority exists, Emergency Authority continues to exist, but seldom can be justified.

10-214 Submission of Revised Proposals for Regents' Items or OP RPAC Approval

On occasion, after a contract or grant proposal which required Regental or OP RPAC approval has been provided, an extramural sponsor will request additional submissions by the campus of revised proposal budgets and/or narratives. The process of submitting such revised proposals to a sponsor can be viewed as part of the negotiation phase for an award and does not require additional solicitation authority by Regents or RPAC, provided that the general intent and purpose of the proposed project, as approved, are not significantly changed by such negotiations.

10-215 Incrementally Funded Awards

Extramurally sponsored projects are sometimes incrementally funded through a series of modifications to the original award instrument. In this case, as in all circumstances, the solicitation and acceptance/execution authority as approved by the Board of Regents or RPAC remains in effect during the life of the award. As this authority is delegated by the President to the Chancellor and subsequently delegated to the campus Research Administration Office, each solicitation and award for each funding increment, regardless of amount, must be accepted or executed by the appropriate campus person who is delegated this authority.

10-216 Regents' Items Procedures and Administration

Information on Regents' Item formats, processing procedures and authorities, and other related administrative issues is issued by RPAC, through Contract and Grant Memos [http://www.ucop.edu/raohome/cgmemos/97-05.html]. The scope of campus authority is set forth in the delegation of authority to Chancellors as well as in the delegation of authority for each award subject to such approvals. Discussion on lease or construction items which need to be presented to the Board of Regents is contained in the University of California Facilities Manual.

10-220 Agricultural Programs

The Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources is responsible for the solicitation, execution or acceptance of extramural contracts, grants and cooperative agreements for all activities administered by the Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station and for all Cooperative Extension activities.

10-230 Construction Programs

Solicitation and acceptance of contracts and grants for construction which fall within authority pursuant to 13-1210, shall be handled in accordance with the University Facilities Manual. Solicitation and acceptance/execution of assistance awards or contracts for research which fall within the authority of Contracts and Grants Officers pursuant to Chapter 13, but which incidentally involve construction of facilities, shall be handled in accordance with the policies in this Manual and in the University Facilities Manual.

10-240 Multiple UC Campus Projects

Campuses may engage in extramurally sponsored research, instruction, or public service projects which involve more than one University of California campus. Under such multiple University campus projects, one campus shall serve as the "prime" campus with respect to oversight and accounting, with other campuses considered "participating" campuses.

10-241 Authorities/Responsibilities

Authorities to solicit, approve, and accept/execute documents to support multi-campus projects are based on standard delegations of authority presented in Chapter 13.

a. Prime Campus

The "prime campus" is the campus which submits the overall multiple-campus proposal to and receives the award from a sponsor. For the overall project, the prime campus is responsible for carrying out all research administration policies and responsibilities as presented in this Contract and Grant Manual, including 10-240 through 10-248 of this policy, as presented in other relevant University policy issuances, and as are imposed by the extramural sponsor. Such policies and responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

(1) submission of assurances required by a sponsoring agency,

(2) equipment accountability, and

(3) maintenance of records pertaining to grant related income and expenditures.

The prime campus may assign such responsibilities or delegate such authorities to participating campuses, as it judges appropriate, and within any constraints placed on it by University policy or the extramural sponsor. Contract and Grant Operating Guidance 02-02, UC Campus Subaward and Inter- Campus Award Administration, and 02-02, Supplement 1, provide model subaward documents for inter-campus transactions.

b. Participating Campus

"Participating campuses" are University of California campuses which assist in carrying out the scope of work awarded to the prime campus. Each participating campus is responsible, on its respective campus and for its portion of the project, for carrying out such contract and grant administration policies and responsibilities as are assigned or delegated by the prime campus. In exercising all responsibilities, prime and participating campuses shall comply with the communication and coordination policies in 10-242 through 10-244, below.

10-242 Communication with Extramural Sponsors

All written communications with the extramural sponsor shall be routed through the prime campus. Participating campuses should not engage in direct communications with the sponsoring agency. Participating campuses should transmit through the prime campus all communications, approvals, assurances, requests, and financial and technical reports covering its portion of the project intended for the sponsoring agency.

10-243 Intercampus Communications

All intercampus communications concerning proposal, award, and other contract and grant administration matters between prime and participating campuses should occur between campus Research Administration/Sponsored Projects Offices. This is not meant to preclude routine communications between campus Extramural Funds Accounting Offices regarding fiscal administration or day-to-day collaboration between Principal Investigators on the performance of the work of sponsored projects.

10-244 Coordination of University Multiple Campus Projects

Responsibility for overall coordination of the multiple-campus project rests with the prime campus. However, before submitting proposals or assurances, accepting awards, revising budgets or awards terms, closing out awards, or carrying out any other contract and grant administration policies and responsibilities, the prime campus shall secure the concurrence of each affected participating campus. Each participating campus is responsible for advising and coordinating with the prime campus all contract and grant administration issues concerning its portion of the project.

10-245 Fiscal Arrangements

Fiscal arrangements shall be in accordance with Accounting Manual Chapter F-351, under terms of which participating campuses will be reimbursed via intercampus transfer of funds. The prime campus, in its award notification to the participating campus, shall clearly inform the participating campus of the extent of its rebudgeting authority and of related prior approval requirements as determined by the terms of the award and by the prime campus' need to monitor and control budget actions. Prime campuses are encouraged to recognize participating campuses' organizational prior approval systems. (Also see C&G Memo 02-02, UC Campus Subaward and Inter-Campus Award Administration, and 02-02, Supplement 1, for documents for inter-campus financial transactions.)

10-246 Direct Costs

Each campus involved in a multiple campus project is entitled to recover allowable direct costs associated with its participation.

10-247 Indirect Costs/Facilities & Administrative Rates

Each campus is entitled to recovery of indirect costs or facilities and administrative costs (F&A) on its own modified total direct costs at the rate negotiated with the University's cognizant audit agency, the Department of Health and Human Services. These negotiated rates are published by each campus as well as by OP Costing Policy & Analysis. The prime campus shall not recover indirect costs on the expenses of participating campuses. Indirect costs are applied to subcontracts to campuses from LBNL. Any agency-specific exceptions to federally negotiated indirect cost rates must be approved with an indirect cost rate exception. (See Chapter 8.)

10-248 Time and Effort Reporting

Time and Effort Reporting/ Personnel Activity Reports by personnel hired on multiple campus extramural projects shall be in accordance with the procedures established by the hiring campus.

10-250 Internal Sponsor/recipient Relationships

On occasion, when the University contract and grant administration function does not directly involve extramural sponsors. This occurs when procurement of services or support of projects occurs within the University, between several University organizational components, using University funds. (In the case of funding from LBNL, the funds are generally DOE funds.) In these cases, both the "sponsor" and the "recipient" are the University.

Sections 10-251 through 10-253 provide coverage on the unique organizational considerations with respect to various internal University sponsor/recipient relationships which may be encountered. C&G Memo 02-02, UC Campus Subaward and Inter-Campus Award Administration, and 02-02, Supplement 1, provides model intercampus transfer documents for programs using University funds.

10-251 Campus Procurement of Laboratory Services

RPAC (formerly Contract and Grant) Operating Guidance Memos provide the approved boilerplate for funds-in agreements for campuses to use when funding work at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory or the Lawrence Livermore or Los Alamos National Security (LLNS and LANS) Laboratories.

10-252 Laboratory Procurement of Campus Services

RPAC Operating Guidance Memos also provide the approved LBNL Intra-University Transaction Agreement or subcontract boilerplate for use by LLNS and LANS for work performed by campuses for the Laboratories.

10-253 University Internal Funding Programs

The University has initiated a number of internal University funded programs to support individual or campus projects serving a special or emergency research, instruction, or public service need. Awards issued under such funding programs are internal allocations of funds involving no contractual or other arrangements with external sponsors. All such programs, however, must be carried out within the internal policies of the University. These programs, therefore, should be coordinated with the

Contracts and Grants Office, Office of the President, and with campus Contracts and Grants Offices, as appropriate. Contract and Grant Operating Guidance Memo 02-02, UC Campus Subaward and Inter-Campus Award Administration, and 02-02, Supplement 1, provides a model award document for inter- campus program award and financial transactions.

On occasion, such programs are carried out in conjunction with programs to acquire services from external private or governmental sources. Acquisition of such external services is discussed in Chapter 16.

Chapter 10-300: Contract and Grant Administration: Responsibilities and Duties

The research administration function of the University is a broad and complex function involving University personnel with expertise in varied subject areas and located in many different University organizational units. As discussed throughout this Manual, personnel involved in the administration of extramural awards are responsible for the research administration function from proposal development and submission through project closeout in accordance with the policies presented in this Manual and other applicable University policies, regulations, and guidance documents.

Many of the responsibilities and duties in contract and grant administration flow from the formal delegation of authority from The Regents to the President and the subsequent redelegation the appropriate other University officials as discussed in Chapter 13. Policy coverage on issues related to the submission of proposals and the acceptance and administration of awards, as discussed in Chapter 2, also applies to the responsibilities and duties related to the administration of contracts and grants for research, training and public services. Sections 10-310 through 10-350, below, present the general contract and grant administration duties and responsibilities of those segments of the University community involved in contract and grant administration.

10-310 Contract and Grant Officers

Contract and Grant Officers are responsible for ensuring that sponsors’ policies and procedures as accepted under an award document are in accordance with University policies. Through appropriate coordination and follow up, Contract and Grant Officers inform the responsible University personnel of sponsor requirements. Contract and Grant Officers' responsibilities support the research, instruction, and public service objectives of the individual sponsored project in conjunction with the broader University-wide contract and grant administration function and the basic missions of the University as presented in Chapter 1.

To exercise such responsibility successfully, Contract and Grant Officers must possess a broad knowledge of and familiarity with current University policy, the organization and operation of academic departments, Organized Research Units, and a wide range of related administrative offices such as, Purchasing/Materiel Management, Risk Management, Extramural Funds Accounting, Academic Personnel, and compliance review boards. It is important that Contract and Grant Officers consult, as necessary, with other campus and Office of the President Contract and Grant Officers (see 10-360), in order to ensure University policy consistency with external sponsors. In addition, Contract and Grant Officers must possess a broad knowledge of current governmental and private sector procurement and assistance policies, requirements, regulations, and practices. (See 10-360 through 10-362 for discussion on professional conferences and career development).

More specifically, Contract and Grant Officers are responsible for the following:

a. Proposal Review and Execution

Review all proposals to extramural sponsors for research, instruction, and public service projects submitted on behalf of The Regents for consistency with University policy and with sponsor terms and conditions and assure proper acceptance or execution of legally binding proposals on behalf of The Regents (see Chapter 13).

b. Negotiating, Accepting, Executing Awards

Negotiation of contract, grant, or cooperative agreement awards for scopes of work and terms and conditions acceptable to the Principal Investigator and academic department which are reasonable and consistent with University policy; obtain the approval of General Counsel when required (see 13-330); and assure proper acceptance or execution of such awards.

c. Interpreting and Explaining Award Conditions and Requirements

Advice Principal Investigators, other academic officials, project administrators, and appropriate or participating administrative offices and departmental staff of the commitments they are undertaking in the name of The Regents under accepted or executed awards.

d. Assisting Others in Discharging Responsibilities under an Award

Provide appropriate assistance and follow up to Principal Investigators, academic departments, and administrative offices to assure full compliance with the terms and conditions of the award, including deadlines and reporting requirements.

e. Implementing Contract and Grant Administration Policies

Take other actions as necessary for the proper implementation of all contract and grant administration policies as are set forth in this Manual and applicable campus manuals.

f. Participating in Conferences

Participate in internal University and external professional conferences as described in 10-360 through 10-362.

10-320 OP Research Policy Analysis and Coordination (RPAC)

The Office of the President (OP) Research Policy Analysis and Coordination (RPAC) Research Policy Managers have the same responsibilities for extramural projects located within the Office of the President as those described for all Contracts and Grants Officers in 10-310. RPAC staff are responsible for advising and assisting, as appropriate, campus Contracts and Grants Officers to ensure the adequate implementation of University policy and discharge of campus Contracts and Grants Officers' responsibilities as presented in 10-310.

Additionally, OP RAO is responsible for the following:

a. University Policy Development, Implementation, and Dissemination

Formulating University contract and grant administration policies to meet internal University needs as well as to address externally imposed sponsor requirements; coordinating approval of such policies by appropriate University officials; and disseminating such policies and information using via RPAC Memos or other applicable guidance documents.

b. Sponsor Policy Review and Comment

Providing ongoing recommendations and analysis to governmental and private sponsors concerning the sponsor's policies and requirements in order to establish optimum consistency between externally imposed sponsor requirements and University policies. Such information is transmitted through direct personal contact and negotiation, through formally proposed regulation review and comment, and through cooperation and coordination on issues and policies with the higher education community.

c. Master/Basic Agreements--Other Campus Assistance

Negotiating and administering Universitywide master contracts and grants and basic agreements for use by all campuses. Assisting campuses in carrying out their contract and grant administration responsibilities as discussed at 10-310 for those projects involving multiple University campuses (see 10-240), involving internal Universitywide funding programs (see 10-251 through 10-253), or involving Regental approval (see 10-210), as necessary.

d. Analysis and Planning

Conducting analyses of long range problems and preparing plans for improvement of the University's contract and grant administration function.

10-330 Principal Investigators

Eligibility for Principal Investigator status is covered in 1-530. Although formal legal obligations related to solicitation and acceptance/execution of extramural funding ultimately rests with the Board of Regents (see 13-510), and although responsibility for reviews and negotiation, coordination, guidance, and follow-up rests with Contracts and Grants Officers (see 10-310 and 10-320), a Principal Investigator is the individual with primary responsibility for:

the scientific integrity and management of the sponsored project;
the financial management of project funds (see 6-440);
adherence to all internal University policies; and
adherence to externally imposed sponsor terms and conditions including reporting and record keeping requirements contained in the award document.

10-340 College and School Deans, Provosts, Department Chairs, and Oru Directors

University College/School Deans, Provosts, Department Chairs, and ORU Directors are accountable for the performance of Principal Investigators within their units. Specific responsibilities related to this accountability vary among and within University campuses as a function of various academic organizational arrangements. Basic responsibilities, however, include:

determining an individual's eligibility for Principal Investigator status;
determining the consistency of the proposed project with the educational, research, and/or public service objectives of the organizational unit;
determining the appropriateness and acceptability of faculty time, space, equipment, and University financial commitments contained in proposals for sponsored projects.
assuring that project scope of work is consistent with internal University policies, with externally imposed sponsor terms and conditions, and with the organizational unit's educational, training, and/or other objectives; and
identifying appropriate funding sources to cover project costs not covered by the project sponsor's funds or by other funds available to the Principal Investigator.

10-350 Administrators of Contract and Grant Related Services

In addition to the responsibilities and duties of Contracts and Grants Officers, of Principal Investigators, and of administrators of academic units as discussed in this Chapter, the University's contract and grant administration function includes contract and grant related responsibilities of a wide range of Office of the President and campus organizational units.

These organizational units possess expertise in varied subject areas and perform a wide spectrum of contract and grant related services. Many of the offices most involved with contracts and grants, along with references to coverage on the authorities, responsibilities, and policy issues related to these offices addressed in other Chapters of this Manual, include:

10-360 Professional Conferences

University personnel involved in contract and grant administration are encouraged to attend appropriate professional conferences as discussed in 10-361 and 10-362. Such participation assists them in discharging their responsibilities as discussed in 10-300 through 10-350.

10-361 University Conferences

Personnel involved in the University's contract and grant administration function, particularly Contract and Grant Officers, should attend periodic Universitywide research administration, technology transfer and other subject-specific conferences and trainings in order to:

Promote better understanding of University policy and to maximize consistency of University policy as presented to external sponsors;
Share information and experiences to develop a better understanding of sponsors' programs, policies, and procedures; and
Discuss unique problems and solutions encountered in the contract and grant administration function and exchange management concepts and innovations.

10-362 External Professional Conferences

Personnel involved in the University's contract and grant administration function are encouraged to attend external professional contract and grant administration-related conferences and courses sponsored by the higher education community and related associations and by external sponsors, as appropriate, in order to:

Share information, and stay apprised of current developments and develop a better understanding of sponsors' policies and programs;
Become familiar with higher education community positions on issues and maximize consistency among educational institutions on positions taken with external sponsors; and

Chapter 10-500: Basic Institutional Information

In carrying out the University's contract and grant administration function, University personnel may be asked to supply extramural sponsors with various forms of basic institutional information on a Universitywide or campus/Laboratory basis. Sections 10-510 through 10-550 provide or reference much of this required basic institutional information.

10-510 Legal, Tax, and Financial Status of the University

The University's legal and tax status are discussed in Chapter 13. Information on the University's financial status may be obtained from several University reports published annually by the Executive Vice President, Business Operations, including the "University of California Financial Report" and the "University of California Campus Financial Schedules". In addition, further contract and grant proposal and award financial information is available through the University's Corporate Contract and Grant Information System as discussed in 10-420 through 10-424.

10-520 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)

Occasionally, the University is asked to provide sponsors with the institution's North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The NAICS number refers to a classification system set forth in the NAICS-United States Manual issued by the federal government's National Technical Information Service (NTIS). The NAICS number for all universities, colleges, and professional schools is Code Number 61131. The old NAICS code, 61131 or S.I.C. Code Number, 8221, may still be found on some federal agencies' documents.

10-530 Unique Entity Identifiers (UEIs)

The Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) is an entity's official identifier for doing business with the U.S. government, replacing the DUNS number (see 10-531) in April 2022.

Chapter 10-400: Contract and Grant Information Management System

Contract and Grant Officers must know and have ready access to University policies and requirements of external sponsors to negotiate effectively terms and conditions of extramural awards and to ensure internal compliance of University administrative systems with federal requirements. A comprehensive contract and grant information management system which allows ready access to such policies and requirements helps the efficiency and effectiveness of contract and grant administration at the University.

The OP RPAC has implemented a system for classifying, filing, and retrieving research administration information and material by organization and subject codes in order to carry out its responsibilities more effectively. The information groups to which this system is applied are:

Contract and Grant Policies/ Contract and Grant Manual (see 10-411);
RPAC (formerly Contract and Grant) Operational Requirements and Guidance Memos (see 10-412); The corporate contract and grant information system is a separate database system. (See 10-420.)

For related policy coverage on University records management, see Chapter 17.

10-410 OP RPAC Publications

10-411 Contract and Grant Policies/Systemwide Contract and Grant Manual

a. Definition

This information group consists of policies which the University issues to meet its own institutional needs or creates to implement federal, State, or other governmental or private sponsor requirements. Such policies are issued in this Manual and Contract and Grant Memos.

b. Scope, Applicability, and Issuance Authority

The scope, applicability, and issuance authority of research administration policies are discussed in the "Introduction" page of this Manual.

c. Distribution

Contract and Grant Manual chapters are published on the OP RPAC homepage.

10-412 RPAC (formerly Contract and Grant) Operational Requirements and Guidance (RPAC Memos)

a. Definition

RPAC Memos provide information or materials concerning University or sponsor operating requirements or guidance. Typically, these memos discuss operating concerns and implementation guidance for individual government agencies or single sponsors, but may also include material about government-wide operating issues.

b. Issuance

OP RPAC publishes two types of RPAC Memos. Operating Requirement memos contain material which campuses are expected to follow as issued. Operating Guidance memos contain information issued principally to offer guidance or assistance to campuses. Guidance materials may be used "as is", modified, or not used, at the discretion of the recipient. All RPAC Memos are serially numbered by calendar year, i.e., 02-01, 02-02 etc.

c. Distribution

All RPAC Memos are distributed by e-mail and published on the RPAC Research Memos page.

10-413 Federal Register Information

a. Scope

The daily Federal Register publishes Presidential proclamations and Executive Orders, federal agency documents with general applicability or legal implications including notices, proposed rules and final rules, documents required to be published by Acts of Congress, and other federal agency documents of public interest. A portion of the notices, proposed and final rules, and schedules of meetings and hearings presented in the Federal Register have specific impact on the business of the University and on contract and grant administration, in particular.

b. Review

OP RPAC's ongoing review of the Federal Register provides University personnel with proposed federal rules in their respective subject areas, in a timely manner. These personnel are responsible for determining whether written or oral comment, when appropriate, should be submitted in order to influence positively the final rule’s impact on the University.

10-420 Corporate Contract and Grant Information System Requirements

The Office of the President collects and retains contract and grant proposal and award information in order to make informed corporate management decisions and respond to numerous inquiries related to the University’s extramural awards. In conjunction with OP Information Resources and Communications and Institutional Research, the Corporate Contract and Grant Information System (SPX) facilitates compilation and retrieval of proposal and award information. This system manages contract and grant data originating from ten campuses, LBNL (and LLNL and LANL when they are operated by the University), the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and the Office of the President.

Reports produced from the data in the corporate CGX system are electronically available to campus research administration offices and other University units. Specialized reports can be created upon request of RPAC staff.
