9. Proposals including personnel and/or resources from both VU and VUMC require a subcontract or a billing agreement. Billing Agreement: to be used for personnel only (exception is travel for graduate students) and when majority of work will be conducted at grantee institution. Non-grantee routes billing agreement proposal in Coeus. Subcontract: required for use of resources beyond salaries or when collaborator conducts majority of work at home institution. Non-grantee routes subcontract proposal in Coeus. Both billing agreements and subcontracts will require an LOI from the collaborating institution.

10.  Subcontracts between VU/VUMC are treated the same as a subcontract to another university.  VU creates and routes a Coeus proposal for an incoming grant (i.e. NIH) with VUMC listed as subawardee and uploads subaward budget.  VUMC collaborating department creates and routes a Coeus proposal listing VU as direct sponsor and budget of only VUMC costs.
