SchF_P01_S00_L02Schedule F, Part I, Line 2For grants and subcontracts to institutions outside the United States, an agreement is prepared by the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) at the MBL, and approval is obtained from the funding agency when applicable. The MBL requires that the agreement include a budget and justification, and that the agreement must be approved in writing by a signatory official in the sub-awardee's grants department. Additional information may be requested as applicable, such as an A-133 report or the local country's equivalent, and a copy of the annual audit. Most subcontracts are awarded to established institutions. There were four foreign subcontracts active in 2010. Progress reports must be submitted by the recipient and are reviewed by the MBL principal investigator (PI) on the grant. A site visit may be arranged to review or monitor the quality or progress of the sub-awardee. Financial reports are reviewed by OSP and are expected to have been prepared on a basis comparable to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States. Subcontract invoices are received and reviewed by OSP and forwarded to the PI for approval. OSP then forwards the invoice to accounting for processing. All expenses and payments on the sub-award are recorded in the accounting system on an accrual basis.
SchF_P01_S00_L03Schedule F, Part I, Line 3A travel summary report is required to be filled out for any travel by the MBL staff. The report requires the name of the person, dates of travel, destination and the purpose for the travel. Any expenses related to the trip, such as out of pocket expenses, transportation or lodging expenses, pre-paid expenses via purchase order or expenses paid via credit card must be reported on this form. This form is submitted to the accounting department where the travel is recorded, sorted by region and reported in Part I of Schedule F as applicable. All expenses are recorded in US dollars and accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting.
