New Subaward Request Status Report x.php?page=subContracts x.php?page=subContracts Excel spreadsheet of data pulled from SPAERC Refreshed biweekly

Is my subaward action listed? If on the report, that means: ◦ It has been received by OSP via eProcurement (Ariba) or PAS, ◦ It has passed an initial review for required documents, and ◦ It has been assigned to a subaward administrator in OSP. If a request was submitted more than 2 weeks ago & does not appear on this report, include the eProcurement/Ariba Contract Request #, BPO # or the PAS PO

Using the report Header rows allow sort and/or filter by any column, including Department (or Sub- Department), UW PI Name, PO/BPO number, Subcontractor Name, & Subcontract ID. A few notes on dates: ◦ SA_Assignment date is the date the action was assigned to a team member. ◦ SA_Issue Date reflects the date that the subaward was sent to the subrecipient. ◦ Fully Executed Date is when OSP has countersigned the agreement and provided it back to the subawardee.
