What is the difference between a contract and subcontract?


Incoming Contracts/Subcontracts for sponsored research are used when the University is being paid to perform research for an outside sponsor. Fee-for-Service contracts are also reviewed by the OGC Contracts office and are used when UC Denver is being paid to provide a service to an outside entity, but that service is not research.

Outgoing Subcontracts are used are used when CU Denver is purchasing research services from an external source or vendor, such as another university, with funds from an external sponsor, such as National Institutes of Health.
