Overview
This guide provides a chart of Flow Through Type selections on the Flow Through detail page for Subcontract proposals in RAS.
When your proposal has an Agreement Type of Subcontract, you are required to select a Prime Sponsor and a Flow Through Type for your proposal. The nature of a subcontract is that you are requesting money from another institution that has an award from a sponsor such as NIH, DOD, or any other sponsor; the sponsor where the money originates is called the Prime Sponsor. For each proposal with an agreement type of Subcontract, you must use the detail page to identify the Prime Sponsor and Flow Through Type.
