Special NIH Subcontract Instructions

If manually entering line items, select the correct cost elements for subcontract F&A expenses to enable the modular budget sync feature to work effectively for NIH modular budget submissions. Isolating the subcontract indirect expense entries by selecting the subcontractor's F&A types in your budget gives Coeus the data needed to sync to the NIH modular budget screen and submission forms. The four direct cost types are listed here, and two examples follow.
