Hi @Jennifer Silver (and All)

I now have 3 Genesis DoE proposals that have Juan Gutierrez’s company as a subaward. I spoke with him briefly yesterday and wanted to see how everyone is handling his company in particular as a subaward. My understanding is that although he worked with Anthony Francis to develop Attruvera, it is acceptable to be a subaward and industry partner on this submission. (Note: I added Kurt to this conversation because I want to keep him in the loop.)

I have questions regarding his sub documents.

Dr. Gutierrez has confirmed that he needs to be a subaward as he won’t be submitting directly through grants.gov as a collaborator.
As he is an employee, is it acceptable to use his RG0101R? Seems like a dumb question, but I want to make sure.
I will have him complete the subrecipient profile questionnaire and the Pi’s do the contractor vs. sub checklist.
I will have him complete the non FDP sub form.
For cost share, he is contributing in-kind, licenses at $25k per user. He has to contribute 20% from what I understand regardless of whether he is unfunded or not as he is an industry partner. I will get a memo from him regarding his cost share contribution and include that in the budget justification. Do I need to complete our cost share form since UTSA is not contributing cost share?
As per the RFA, we will have him complete the ScienCV Doe Biosketch, C&P, collaborator letter, and Institutional commitment letter to be included in the submissions.

I’ve put this on the listserv so everyone who is dealing with it can be aware or, if they have already worked on it and have answers, they can provide that info as well.

Please advise.

Thank you,

Liz
