Subaward Reference Guide
New Reference Guide Developed by the Subaward Working Group
March 04, 2026
In response to various questions and concerns brought to us by campus constituents, the Subaward Working Group has developed the Subaward Reference Guide
for subawards PDF. The guide is intended to provide clarity about how subawards function in Workday, best practices on invoice documentation and approvals, budget vs GR line, and more.
This is intended to be a living document, so if you have questions or concerns, need clarification, or would like an additional topic related to subawards, please email subawardworkgroup@umd.edu.
