Question: We provide cost share to the OFRN -6 project using faculty  Academic Year time, and graduate student partial tuitions. Since we are a State University, this is technically funded by the State of Ohio General Revenue Funds (GRF).   Would it be possible to clarify this? Are we still allowed to provide faculty AY time as a cost share from the State University?

Response: to the extent the AY time is not GRF, it should be fine.

If you are asking if you can include legal and related costs for patenting/trademarking IP, then it depends what specifically is needed.  Intellectual property costs are allowable as specified in 2 CFR 200.448.  Some related costs may fall under 2 CFR 200.459.  You will need to check the rules to see if a specific cost or portion of the cost is allowed, before including it in the budget.

Question: 

OFRN pays sub-contractors directly or the prime awardee pays them and invoices parallax for it… the text on the solicitation is quite confusing about this.. as it seems you call the prime awardee and the subcontractors both subcontractors…

Response:

OFRN pays the lead organization (prime awardee) only.  In the terms of the question above, the prime awardee is a subcontractor to Parallax. The lead organization (prime awardee) would pay their subcontractors from the OFRN payment.
