Updated Standard Operating Procedure
October 21, 2026
OSRA has issued a revised Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Processing Incoming Subawards. The revised SOP reflects current systems and processes and provides guidance for the review, negotiation, execution, and administration of incoming subaward agreements and amendments issued to Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) under sponsored projects.
The updated SOP clarifies the roles and responsibilities of Principal Investigators, Departments, and OSRA throughout the incoming subaward lifecycle. It also addresses WRG-PT tracking, compliance review, agreement execution, and processing timelines to help ensure compliance with sponsor and institutional requirements.
The updated SOP is available here and has been posted on the OSRA website under Policies & Procedures.
Department staff and Principal Investigators involved in the administration and management of sponsored research awards should review and familiarize themselves with the revised SOP.
