Intercampus sub-awards: UC campuses may engage in sponsored projects involving more than one UC campus. The campus receiving an award from an external granting agency is the prime campus and the other participating campuses are considered recipients of sub-awards from the prime.

The official Notification of Campus Sub-award is generally processed by the prime campus Office of Contract and Grant Administration (OCGA) to the recipient campus's OCGA. This includes federal and privately funded grants, contracts, and agreements. For gifts and fellowships, contact the Office of Post Award Financial Services (OPAFS) for instructions.

Obtaining an index and fund for a sub-award: OPAFS sets up the initial index and fund number for intercampus sub-awards after receiving the sub-award information from OCGA. If you are waiting for a sub-award and haven't received the index and fund number, first confirm that OCGA has received the Notification of Campus Sub-award. If OCGA has not received the notice, contact the prime campus and request that the notification be sent to UCSD. For awards that aren't processed through OCGA, such as gifts and fellowships, contact OPAFS.
