This RADG meeting will be designed as a fireside chat with panelists speaking their varied experiences with

collaborators, colleagues and sponsors as they relate to subaward agreements. It can be difficult to balance the

expectations of several parties with institutional policies and sponsor requirements all while respecting the position of

your collaborators. The panelists will consider how the golden rule impacts their negotiation style. Panelists will also

speak to how to leverage the grants lifecycle to your advantage to streamline the subaward process at each step of the

way. Attendees are welcome to come with their questions and challenges, whether those are terms of an award or

approach with another institution.
