Process
Please notify aggrant@utk.edu as soon as you receive notice of an award. If a contract or agreement is sent directly to you, please do not sign but forward to aggrant@utk.edu.
A coordinator will prepare internal routing paperwork and the Director will review the contract before obtaining official signatures.
Subcontracts
To initiate a subcontract, also please notify aggrant@utk.edu with as much information as you have. We will prepare the subcontract and obtain signatures.
Non-Competitive Justification (NCJ)
The UTIA Office of Sponsored Programs will prepare NCJ’s for subcontractors named in funded proposals. All other NCJ’s should be prepared by department accounting personnel.
