ORA Tip of the Week

Do you need to complete a lengthy institutional information form in relation to a subaward proposal or award?
Consider using the FDP Expanded Clearinghouse. As an FDP member organization, HMS maintains a detailed profile in the FDP Expanded Clearinghouse, which includes institutional information most commonly requested from subrecipients. FDP member organizations have agreed to review the Expanded Clearinghouse profile rather than requesting subrecipients to complete separate forms. Many other institutions will be also accept this profile. Questions? Contact Kevin Ritchie.
