Office of Sponsored Programs
Please Note
To accommodate the tremendous growth of sponsored research at Manne Research Institute, the offices across Research Business Operations have been expanded and reorganized, including the Office of Sponsored Programs, Sponsored Research Finance Office, and the Research Support Office. These web pages will be updated in the coming months.

Subaward Tracker
If you are an investigator working with OSP on a subaward, please reference the Subaward Tracker for the most up-to-date status of the agreement. The tracker is updated on a weekly basis.
Key Definitions
Negotiation: This refers to the process between Lurie Children's and the subrecipient to request or respond to changes in the subaward. State indicates which party is currently reviewing the agreement.
On Hold: Subawards are placed into the "On Hold " status for these reasons:
- Notice of Award (NOA) Not Received: The OSP Award Services team is awaiting receipt of the Sponsor’s official Notice of Award, which is required to begin working on subawards. Nothing can be sent out at this time. Please forward the sponsor NoA to OSPAwards@luriechildrens.org if you receive the agreement and OSP was not included.
- NOA Received–Pending Intake: OSP Award Services has received the sponsor NoA and is conducting a preliminary review to confirm OSP has the necessary documents to draft the subaward agreement.
- Incomplete Intake: OSP Awards Services lacks certain information or documents that are needed to draft the subaward (e.g., sub site scope of work (SOW), budget, or budget justification).
- Client Requested Hold: This is typically requested by a PI, and could represent negotiations with a subsite due to budget cuts or other similiar actions.
Completed: Both parties have signed the agreement, copies have been returned to the subrecipient, and the document has been handed off to SRFO for setup in Workday.
Send any enquiries regarding subawards to OSPawards@luriechildrens.org. Please reference the Cayuse Subaward ID number from the first column of the Tracker.
